Determination of the Radio-isotope Activity Concentration in Some Medicinal and Aromatic Plants in Bitlis

Öz

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.
