Soil and vegetation samples from 33 sites within the northwestern area of the River Nile delta in Egypt have been analyzed for natural and manmade radioactivity. Gamma-ray spectrometric measurements were performed where Bi-214 and Pb-214 were used for U-238-series determinations, while Tl-208 and Ac-228 were used for Th-232-series determinations. In addition, alpha-spectrometric measurements were also performed for the determination of different isotopes of uranium and plutonium. Other parameters examined included the determination of radium equivalent activities and relationship between the gamma-radiation values and subsequent dose level determinations and the soil types.
