dc.description.abstractGroundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is one of the most important of all legumes and contains appreciable amounts of dietary oil and protein. Groundnut is added to many foods to enhance their levels of high-quality protein in diets lacking in nutrition. In this study, 51 groundnut samples were collected from the Mediterranean region of Turkey and analysed for naturally occurring radioactive isotopes of radium (Ra-226), thorium (Th-232) and potassium (K-40). The activity concentrations of Ra-226, Th-232 and K-40 in groundnut samples varied from 2.9 +/- 0.8 to 7.6 +/- 1.0 Bq kg(-1) (dw), with an average of 5.4 Bq kg(-1) (dw); 4.4 +/- 0.9 to 10.7 +/- 1.2 Bq kg(-1) (dw), with an average of 6.9 Bq kg(-1) (dw) and 246.3 +/- 18.2 to 541.8 +/- 40.1 Bq kg(-1) (dw), with an average of 427.1 Bq kg(-1) (dw), respectively. The annual effective radiation dose was estimated to assess the health hazards caused by the ingestion of groundnut samples based on the measured activity concentrations of the radionuclides contained in them. The annual effective radiation dose varied from 6.5 to 10.1 mu Sv y(-1), with an average of 8.3 +/- 0.1 mu Sv y(-1). The results revealed that consumption of Turkish groundnuts does not pose any radiological health hazards.en_US
