Sermin Çam Kaynar, Ümit H. Kaynar, Umran Hiçsönmez, et al. Determination of 210Po and 210Pb depositions in lichen and soil samples collected from Köprübaşı- Manisa, Turkey. [J]. Nuclear Science and Techniques 29(6):86(2018) DOI: 10.1007/s41365-018-0428-7.
In this study, we aimed to determine the accumulations of ,210,Po and ,210,Pb in soil and lichen samples in Köprübaşı. The Köprübaşı district is home to the largest uranium deposits in Turkey. To date, there has been no study recorded in the literature related to ,210,Po and ,210,Pb depositions in lichens in Köprübaşı. Six different lichen species (,Cladonia convoluta, Parmelina tiliacea, Physcia stellaris, Pleurosticta acetabulum, Xanthoparmelia conspersa, and ,Xanthoria parietina), as well as soil samples were collected from seven sampling locations around Köprübaşı. Lichens were used as biomonitors for ,210,Po and ,210,Pb deposition. The ,210,Po and ,210,Pb activity concentrations were measured in all the samples by alpha spectrometry. The activity concentrations in the lichen samples ranged from 64 to 577 Bq.kg,-1, with an average of 266 Bq.kg,-1, for ,210,Po and from 78 to 565 Bq.kg,-1, with an average of 333 Bq.kg,-1, for ,210,Pb. The activity ratios of ,210,Po/,210,Pb ranged from 0.80 to 1.99. In the lichen species, the mean,210,Po activity values varied from 154 Bq.kg,-1, in ,Pleurosticta acetabulum, to 390 Bq.kg,-1, in ,Xanthoparmelia conspersa., The range of the mean ,210,Pb activity was between 153 Bq.kg,-1, in ,Cladonia convoluta, and 378 Bq.kg,-1, in ,Parmelina tiliacea,. In the soil samples,210,Po and ,210,Pb activity concentrations were ranged from 14 to 1268 Bq.kg,-1, and from 19 to 1113 Bq.kg,-1, respectively. While the values of ,210,Po and ,210,Pb measured in the lichen samples are comparable with those of the literature, the results of ,210,Po and ,210,Pb in the soil taken from the uranium mine are higher than the results of the literature studies.
