Description
This study assesses the outdoor gamma absorbed dose levels in air of the Adana's region. The measurements were taken from 130 different sample points in this area by Eberline Smart Portable (ESP-2) with SPA-6 plastic scintillation detector. The outdoor gamma absorbed dose rates order from 40 to 145 nGy h-1. Average outdoor gamma dose rates were measured as 65 nGy h-1. Average effective dose received from outdoor gamma radiation in Adana's region is 80 μSv y-1. (authors)
