Abstract
Seasonally gross alpha–beta activities were measured in surface water and sediments in Sır Dam Pond (Kahramanmaras, Turkey). Six sampling sites were pre-defined in different locations of the Sır Dam Pond. Preliminary studies of gross-α and gross-β activities in the surface water and deep sediments were determined. The results obtained from the determination of the activity indicate that gross-α and gross-β activities were ranging from 0,007 ± 0,005 to 0,077 ± 0,006 Bq/l and from 0,028 ± 0,006 to 0,189 ± 0,009 Bq/l for the surface water and from 0,001 ± 0.001 to 0,229 ± 0,032 Bq/g and from 0,144 ± 0,026 to 0,419 ± 0,033 Bq/g for deep sediment, respectively.
Kurzfassung
Jahreszeitlich bedingte Gesamt-Alpha und -Beta-Aktivitätskonzentrationen wurden gemessen in Oberflächengewässern und Sedimenten des Sır Dam Pond (Kahramanmaras, Turkey). Sechs Probenahmestellen wurden vorher bestimmt an verschiedenen Stellen des Sır Dam Pond. Erste vorläufige Untersuchungen der Gesamt-Alpha und -Beta-Aktivitätskonzentrationen wurden durchgeführt in Oberflächengewässern und tiefen Sedimenten. Die Ergebnisse der Aktivitätsbestimmungen zeigen, dass die Gesamt-Alpha und -Beta-Aktivitäten in den Bereichen von 0,007 ± 0,005 bis 0,077 ± 0,006 Bq/l und 0,028 ± 0,006 bis 0,189 ± 0,009 Bq/l für die Oberflächengewässer bzw. in den Bereichen von 0,001 ± 0.001 bis 0,229 ± 0,032 Bq/g und von 0,144 ± 0,026 bis 0,419 ± 0,033 Bq/g für tiefe Sedimente liegen.
