The K? prü bas?? district is home to the largest uranium deposits in Turkey. To date, there has been no study recorded in the literature related to ^(210) Po and ^(210) Pb depositions in lichens in K? prü bas??. Six different lichen species(Cladonia convoluta, Parmelina tiliacea, Physcia stellaris, Pleurosticta acetabulum, Xanthoparmelia conspersa, and Xanthoria parietina) as well as soil samples were collected from seven sampling locations around K? prü bas??. Lichens were used as biomonitors for ^(210) Po and ^(210) Pb deposition. The ^(210) Po and ^(210) Pb activity concentrations were measured in all the samples by alpha spectrometry. The activity concentrations in the lichen samples ranged from 64 to 577 Bq kg^(-1) with an average of 266 Bq kg^(-1) for ^(210) Po and from 78 to 565 Bq kg^(-1) with an average of 333 Bq kg^(-1) for ^(210) Pb. The activity ratios of ^(210) Po/ ^(210) Pb ranged from 0.80 to 1.99. In the lichen species,the mean ^(210) Po activity values varied from 154 Bq kg^(-1) in Pleurosticta acetabulum to 390 Bq kg^(-1) in Xanthoparmelia conspersa. The range of the mean ^(210) Pb activity was between 153 Bq kg^(-1) in Cladonia convoluta and 378 Bq kg^(-1) in Parmelina tiliacea. In the soil samples, ^(210) Po and ^(210) Pb activity concentrations were ranged from14 to 1268 Bq kg^(-1) and from 19 to 1113 Bq kg^(-1),respectively. While the values of ^(210) Po and ^(210) Pb measured in the lichen samples are comparable with those of the literature, the results of ^(210) Po and ^(210) Pb in the soil taken from the uranium mine are higher than the results of the literature studies.展开更多
