Bu çalışmada, Siirt bölgesinin
farklı alanlarından toplanan tuzlu sularda toplam α ve toplam β seviyeleri
ve metal içerikleri PIC-MPC-9604 model α/β sayım
sistemi ve dalga boyu dağılımlı X-ışını floresans spektrometresi ile ölçüldü ve
değerlendirildi. Örneklerde, minimum ölçülebilir derişimler (MÖD) (0,11 – 0,20 Bq L^-1) ile toplam α aktivite içerikleri (0,44 – 0,62 Bq L^-1) ve MÖD (0,10 – 0,17 Bq L^-1) ile toplam β
aktivite içerikleri (0,93 – 1,67 Bq L^-1) olarak tayin edilmiştir. Tuzlu sularda bulunan radyoaktivite ve element
içeriklerinin karşılaştırılması Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (WHO) , Birleşik Devletler
Çevre Koruma Ajansı (US-EPA), Türk Standartları (TS) tarafından bildirilen
değerleri ile ve önceki yayınlanan makale değerleri ile yapılmıştır. Tuzlu
suları, metal ve aktivite içerikleri açısından kategorize etmek için ana
bileşen ve küme analizleri kullanılmıştır. Bulunan üç ana bileşen, verilerdeki toplam
değişkenin yaklaşık % 90,4'ü olmuştur.
