Abstract

Determination of the
levels of radioactivity concentration in food is very important for the
protection of human health. In this study, the level of radioisotope activity
concentrations (²²⁶Ra, ²³²Th, and ⁴⁰K)
naturally found in some medical and aromatic plants growing in Bitlis were
determined. The analysis of ²²⁶Ra, ²³²Th and ⁴⁰K
activity concentration of medicinal plants were performed using a high
resolution gamma-ray spectrometer with HpGe detector.

Keywords
