Abstract
Over 40 years old 600-700 years old people in good condition live in about 300 houses in
Emendere village. Most of drinking and usage water, and 70% of Sindirgi’s (Balikesir) drinking
water are supplied by two main natural sources from Emendere. Apart of those sources,
restorative water source near the village settlement place is commonly used for bathing.
The gross alpha and beta radioactivity levels in Sindirgi’s drinking water are firstly determined
by CNAEM (Cckmece Nuclear Research and Training Centre) in 1999. Determined levels were
both higher than the limits accepted by WHO (World Health Organisation) and TSE (Turkish
Standards Institute) in drinking water.
In this study, the gross alpha and beta radioactivity levels in usage and drinking water in the
same place are determined by using more sample collected over the village and obtained results
are conclude according to the standards determined by WHO and TSE. Ca and Mg
concentrations, temperatures and pH are also determined and conclude.
A health team from Balikesir State Hospital is also searched through the most of the village
population. None of the radiation caused sickness was found during this search.
