Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the artificial and natural radiation dose levels in the coastal areas of Trabzon–Rize–Artvin provinces 38 years after the Chernobyl nuclear accident. Radioactive ²³²Th, ²³⁸U, ⁴⁰K and ¹³⁷Cs concentrations were determined in 49 soil samples by HPGe gamma spectrometry. Average concentrations were 12 Bqkg⁻¹ for ²³⁸U, 15 Bqkg⁻¹ for ²³²Th, 162 Bqkg⁻¹ for ⁴⁰K and 37 Bqkg⁻¹ for ¹³⁷Cs. Annual effective dose equivalents and excess lifetime cancer risk values are below the world average. This study also presents the average ¹³⁷Cs value measured in the same area from 1990–2004–2024.
