Abstract

The contents of natural radionuclides (226Ra, 232Th and 40K) in 33 fertilizers and 50 soil samples from Vojvodina region, Serbia, were measured by low level gamma spectrometry. The obtained results showed that the averages of radiation hazard parameters for the fertilizers are higher than acceptable level for radium equivalent activity (Raeq), representative level index (I γ ), external hazard index (H ex) and absorbed dose rate (D) [1]. Based on the measured values of the activity concentration of radionuclides in soils, the activity concentrations of radionuclides for most commonly grown crops in Vojvodina were calculated.
