A radiological baseline study was carried out by means of a computational analysis to evaluate the distribution of 226Ra, 232Th, 40K and 137Cs in samples of beach sand collected from the coastal areas of Antalya, Turkey. The results of the radiological risk assessment indicated that the calculated radiological risk for workers and tourists was below the level that could pose an endangerment to life or the safe operation. There was also no evidence of recent migration of 137Cs or other isotopes through precipitation, dust transport, or by indirect means such as sea currents.
