AB - In order to determine the gamma radiation dose levels in the Adana Province and its vicin ity, measurements were made at a height of approximately 1 m from the soil surface at 133 different points. The measurements were measured using a portable gamma scintillation detector that was sensitive to detection of radiation emitted by low-activity radionuclides descending with fallout along with natural gamma radiation measurements. In this study, the arithmetic average of gamma dose level measurements in Adana province and its surroundings was found to be 71.2 (nGy /h). This value corresponds to the mean effective dose equivalent of 87.3 μSv /y. The obtained results were compared to studies conducted in different regions of Turkey and the world average. Keywords: Radiation, Gamma Dose, Cancer Risk, Annual Effective Dose, Adana. 1. Introduction Radiation is caused by radioactive nuclei in the earth's building, from cosmic rays formed in the solar system, or artificial radiation produced by human beings. The basic source of radiation that people are exposed to in the environment they live in is natural radiation. The investigation of the dose, the effects on people's lifespan, and the harm they will cause is of great importance in the study of
