Özet

This research investigates the artificial and natural radioactivity levels in sediment and sand samples collected from Lake Salda. Radioactivity measurements were conducted using a High-Purity Germanium detector, followed by the calculation of radiological risk parameters. The mean radiation activity concentrations for 226Ra, 232Th, 40K, and 137Cs were determined to be 2.68, 3.19, 270.80, and 3.41 Bq/kg, respectively.
