Taşkın, Halim; Kobya, Yaşar; Tokgöz, Murat; Bassarı, Asiye; Yeşilkanat, Cafer Mert (Elsevier Science BV, 2018)The purpose of this study is to determine the amount of various trace elements and the concentration of grossalpha and gross beta radioactivity in human teeth and alsofind out their possible effects on humans. Fifty-sixtooth ... -
Determining and mapping of natural and artificial radioactivity from moss samples in Artvin (Turkey)
Kobya, Yaşar; Yeşilkanat, Cafer Mert; Taşkın, Halim; Karahan, Gürsel (Parlar Scientific Publications, 2020)In this study, moss samples which have radiologic indicator characteristic were collected from 80 stations in Artvin to determine the natural (Ra-226, Th-232, and K-40) and artificial (Cs-137) radioactivity levels. Natural ... -

Artvin province, which has a quite hilly terrain and ... -
Evaluation and mapping of radionuclides in the terrestrial environment and health hazard due to soil radioactivity in Artvin, Turkey
Taşkın, Halim; Yeşilkanat, Cafer Mert; Kobya, Yaşar; Çevik, Uğur (Springer Heidelberg, 2018)In this study, the radiological characterization of top soil in the Artvin region, the assessment of relevant health risks, and obtaining the distribution of radiological parameters in soil of the region by means of the ... -
Evaluation of outdoor gamma dose rate and cancer risk in Artvin province, Turkey
Kobya, Yaşar; Taşkın, Halim; Yeşilkanat, Cafer Mert; Çevik, Uğur (Taylor & Francis Inc, 2015)In this study, we measured environmental outdoor gamma dose rates (terrestrial and cosmic) in 204 stations across the province of Artvin. The average outdoor gamma dose rate for the province of Artvin was found to be 174.81 ... -
