Abstract

The study examined 15 sites in the Ovacik-Kargicak (Mersin, Turkey) open pit mines and obtained two quartzite samples from each. Gamma-ray spectrometric measurements were undertaken on the quartzite rocks and sands to quantify the concentrations of the natural radionuclides 226Ra, 232Th and 40K. In addition, the mean radioactivity concentrations of these natural nuclides were calculated to be 6.94, 7.34 and 140.05 Bqkg−1. Also the mean radioactivity concentrations of the natural nuclides in old Ovacik quartzite sands 226Ra, 232Th and 40K were calculated to be 9.85, 10.54, and 226.40 Bqkg−1, respectively.
