The Impact of Earthquakes on Natural Radiation Levels: A Study at KSU Avşar Campus

Öz

People are regularly exposed to natural radiation due to long half-life radioactive nuclei in the Earth's crust. Soil, rock, and groundwater are significant natural radiation sources, often displaced by seismic activities. Due to these reasons, it remains unclear how seismic activities affect natural radiation, especially that emitted from the soil.This study aimed to measure radiation levels before and after earthquakes areas surrounding the Faculty of Medicine (MF) at Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University (KSU) Avşar Campus and various points (VP) on the campus. Measurements were taken at 10-day intervals until 2024-May's end. Pre-earthquake mean values in MF and VP were MF-13±0.2 µR/h and VP-12±0.3 µR/h, respectively. After-earthquake, MF levels were MF-14±0.4 µR/h and VP-13±0.7 µR/h. This results contributes new data to the ongoing research in assessing environmental changes associated with seismic events, emphasizing the need for sustained monitoring research to enhance our knowledge of the relation between earthquakes and natural radiation levels. Additionally, it has been determined that the measured areas natural radiation levels that are suitable for a livable environment.
