Natural and artificial radioactivity in some protected areas of south east Europe
The primary aim of this research is the investigation of natural and artificial radioactivity in protected areas of Kopaonik, Vlasina, and Rila Mountains. Soil samples (including lake sediment), drinkable spring water and conifers at mentioned locations of Southeast Europe, are chosen as st...

| description | The primary aim of this research is the investigation of natural and
artificial radioactivity in protected areas of Kopaonik, Vlasina, and Rila
Mountains. Soil samples (including lake sediment), drinkable spring water and
conifers at mentioned locations of Southeast Europe, are chosen as study
objects due to their importance for people and the environment in global.
Specific activities of 226Ra, 232Th, 40K, 238U, 235U, 137Cs, 210Pb, and 7Be
are determined using gamma spectrometry and the obtained values compared with
literature and mean world values. Risk assessment parameters and the
soil-plant transfer factor were determined for 226Ra, 40K, 137Cs, and 210Pb.
This is the first radioactivity study of high mountain areas of Vlasina and
Kopaonik in Serbia and Rila in Bulgaria and as such a baseline measurement
and foundation for future research. [Project of the Serbian Ministry of
Education, Science and Technological Development, Grant no. III43009] |
