【 摘 要 】

In this study, we attempt to determine the dependence of activity concentration of natural (238U,232Th,40K) and artificial (137Cs) radionuclides on depth in soil samples from Antalya in Turkey. Soil samples were collected at different depths (0-10 cm, 10-30 cm, 30-50 cm, 50-70 cm, 70-100 cm and 100-200 cm). Each soil samples were counted by using a high purity Germanium detector (HpGe). For each soil sample, activity concentration, absorbed dose rate, radium equivalent activity, external and internal hazard index were calculated and compared with the published results.
