Abstract

Arin Lake is a stopover for many migratory bird species, mostly flamingos and songbirds.The assignment of gamma dose rate is very important for the air quality of an environment and human health. For this purpose, the environmental gamma radiation dose rate in air was measured for 27 different point in Arin Lake area in Bitlis province. Measurements were conducted using a portable gamma survey meter supplied with a NaI(Tl) scintillation detector. Gamma dose values were measured in the range 0.035 - 0.165 μSv/h for ground level with mean 0.117 μSv/h. Similarly gamma dose values for 1 m above the ground were measured in the range 0.027 - 0.150 μSv/h with mean 0.104 μSv/h.
