Abstract

Arin gölü, çoğunlukla flamingolar ve ötücü kuşlar olmak üzere çok sayıda göçmen kuş türü için göçmen kuşların göç yolunda mola yeridir. Gama doz oranın belirlenmesi, bir ortamın hava kalitesi ve insan sağlığı için çok önemlidir. Bu amaçla, Bitlis ilindeki Arin Gölü bölgesinde 27 farklı nokta için havadaki çevresel gama radyasyon dozu ölçülmüştür. Ölçümler için NaI(TI) sintilasyon dedektörüne sahip taşınabilir gama ölçüm cihazı kullanılmıştır. Gama doz oranı değerleri yer seviyesi için 0,035-0,165 μSv/h aralığında ve ortalama 0,117 μSv/h olarak ölçülmüştür. Benzer şekilde, yerden 1 m yükseklik için gama doz oranı değerleri 0,027-0,150 μSv/h aralığında ve ortalama 0,104 μSv/h olarak ölçülmüştür.

Environmental Gamma Dose Measurement in Arin Lake (Bitlis)

Abstract

Arin Lake is a stopover for many migratory bird species, mostly flamingos and songbirds.The assignment of gamma dose rate is very important for the air quality of an environment and human health. For this purpose, the environmental gamma radiation dose rate in air was measured for 27 different point in Arin Lake area in Bitlis province. Measurements were conducted using a portable gamma survey meter supplied with a NaI(Tl) scintillation detector. Gamma dose values were measured in the range 0.035 - 0.165 μSv/h for ground level with mean 0.117 μSv/h. Similarly gamma dose values for 1 m above the ground were measured in the range 0.027 - 0.150 μSv/h with mean 0.104 μSv/h.
