This book is a comprehensive introduction to the application of geoscience to criminal
investigations. Clearly structured throughout, the text follows a path from the large-scale …

We implemented a laboratory apparatus based on a NaI (Tl) γ-ray spectrometer for the
assessment of naturally occurring radioactive materials. This apparatus is devoted to the …

Field γ-ray spectrometry was used for the quantitative assessment of radioactive elements
and the expected radon flux of rocks cropping out at the Alps–Apennines transition zone …

This study aims to determine the radioactivity properties of the geological units outcropped
in the area between Sandıklı-Şuhut (Afyonkarahisar) and reveal the origin and boundary …

This study involved the analysis of the locations with the lowest earthquake risk in the Isparta
province of Turkey and the radiological properties of these locations. The most convenient …

As one of the most important parameters to express radiation's harmful effects is excess
lifetime cancer risk, which is presented in the literature with the empirical relationship, an …

This study aims to distinguish rocks that may have negative health impacts and to reveal the
risks and effects of urban development in this polluting environment. Therefore, it is …

In situ measurement of the concentration of 40 K, 238 U, and 232 Th elements in shales,
pyroclastics, limestones, and dolerites in Abakaliki–Ishiagu areas was done using the …

Radioactive heat production data for volcanic rocks ranging in age from 430 ka to the
historical time and cropping out on the three main islands of the Aeolian arc (Southern Italy) …

Many radioactive elements have existed when the Earth had appeared and the long living of
them are still present. One of the most important of these radioactive elements is ^40K. It …
