Radiation Variation Of Well, Drinking And Thermal Waters in Sandıklı Region

Abstract

In this study, we have measured the α/β concentration in drinking and thermal waters in Sandıklı, Afyon. Periodic samples are collected from 8 sources over sampling period 6 months. Samples are analyzed by WPC 9550 α/β proportional counter. We have compared the results with WHO (World Health Organization)’s standard recommendation results about drinking and thermal waters. In general, we found beta radioactivity values normal and alpha radioactivity values high.
