Natural radionuclides in soils in Serbia: Dose calculations and environmental risk assessment
Abstract
The paper presents the results of environmental risk assessment from natural radionuclides in
soils in Serbia during 1983–2009. Soils were sampled in urban and mountainous areas, around several
coal power plants, at an experimental farm, and in the region exposed to depleted uranium ammunition in
1999. External dose rates, radium equivalent activities, external hazard indices, and annual effective doses
are calculated and the environmental risk from natural radionuclides in soils is estimated.
