Determination of the gross radioactivity in drinking water of Kahramanmaras, Turkey

摘要

A monitoring of radioactivity content was performed in drinking waters collected in Kahramanmaras. Gross alpha and gross beta activities concentration were measured. The values of measured gross alpha and gross beta are compared with recommended WHO (World Health Organisation) and ITS (Institution of Turkish Standards) guideline activity concentration. Obtained results are in good agreement with the values recommended by WHO and ITS guideline activity concentrations for drinking water (except for two values).
