Abstract
Radioactivity level is a factor that affects of environmental variations. In this study, quaternary sequence was evaluated by the discussion of radioactivity anomalies. For this purpose, an example drill samples of quaternary sequence were found from Golden Horn (Haliç) quaternary sequence. Samples were prepared with grinding and sieving carefully. Then, the measurements were taken in two different counting system for beta and alpha measurements. Alpha and beta radioactivity was evaluated by using related calibration curves. Results of the study, it is evident that especially alpha count rates can be used for the clay evaluation because of the clay which has more magmatic elements that include uranium and thorium in it. So it is shown that the alpha counting technique can be used for general evaluation of the quaternary sequence easily.
