摘要：
The specific activity of terrestrial potassium, thorium, and radium as well as radiocesium isotopes in Sarajevo city was determined. From the measured gamma-ray spectra, the activity concentrations were determined for K-40, Th-232. Ra-226, and Cs-137 with the respective average values of 460, 39, 32, and 52 Bq kg(-1). The corresponding annual effective dose indoor and outdoor values were within the maximum limit of 1 mSv year(-1) given by UNSCEAR. The calculated adsorbed dose rate in air was 0.058 mu Gy h(-1). In general, all hazard index parameters were within the criterion upper limits, implying insignificant radiation risk hazard.
