Gross alpha/beta, Drinking water, Annual effective dose, AntalyaAbstract
The present work intends to determine gross alpha and beta activity
concentrations of some drinking water samples collected from Antalya, Turkey. Using
EPA 900 counting method based on the assessment of the water quality, the
radioactivity monitoring has been carried out. The data resulting from this measurement
can provide the important information to evaluate the possible future changes.
