摘要: Spatial variations of natural and artificial radiation hazards are evaluated by combining high-resolution gamma spectrometry with the Kriging method. The coupling both methods was applied on radionuclides’ concentration measurements northern Jordan soil, generated smooth surfaces had mean standardized error root square values ranging from 6 × 10−3 to 26 × 10−3 0.89 1.19, respectively. spatial assessment shows that some hazard indices higher than global average values. produced maps show observed increase in uranium thorium concentrations could be related spread phosphate-rich rock compositions.
