Estimation of Outdoor Gamma Dose Rates and Lifetime Cancer Risk in Akoko Region, Ondo State, Southwestern, Nigeria.

In the present study, outdoor gamma dose rates have been measured by using a NaI(Tl) scintillation detector in 20 measurement points in the Tavsanly district center of Kutahya province in Turkiye. Annual effective dose equivalents and lifetime cancer risks have been calculated from the obtained results as (106.64 ?6.20) ?Sv and (3.73 ?0.2) ?10-4, respectively. The results have been compared with those of other studies for Turkiye and the world literature
