Özet

In this research, the seasonal variations of ambient gamma radiation dose rate and the outdoor gamma radiation risk in the northeast location of Cyprus were investigated by means of an Ion Chamber Survey Meter. The ambient gamma radiation was measured at 100 cm above ground level. The average value of measured ambient gamma dose was 135 nGyh-1, 185 nGyh-1, 187 nGyh-1 and 191 nGyh-1 in winter, autumn, spring, and summer, respectively. The excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR) values at the tested sites were higher than the worldwide average.
