In this study, annual effective
dose rate distribution due to cosmic radiation, which constitutes an important
part of natural radiation, was mapped in  spatial pixels for
three provinces in the Eastern Black Sea region (Artvin, Rize and Trabzon).
Cosmic ray-induced annual effective dose calculations were performed based on
latitude and altitude changes with EXPACS, an excel-based program. Besides, the
effect of cosmic radiation on the population living in the study area was
determined. For the entire study area, it was calculated the average effective
dose rate from Cosmic radiation as 0.65 mSv
y-1 and range as (0.33-1.72) mSv
y-1. The average annual collective effective dose rate was
determined approximately 508 person-Sv y-1.
Besides, the population-weighted average annual effective dose rates were
obtained as 449, 376 and 370 for Artvin, Rize and
Trabzon provinces, respectively.

Bu çalışmada doğal radyasyonun önemli bir
kısmını oluşturan kozmik ışın kaynaklı yıllık etkin doz hızı dağılımı, Doğu
Karadeniz Bölgesindeki üç il için (Artvin, Rize ve Trabzon) ’lik mekânsal çözünürlükte haritalandırılmıştır. Kozmik
ışın kaynaklı yıllık etkin doz oranı hesaplamaları, Excel tabanlı çalışan bir
program olan EXPACS ile enlem ve rakım değişimlerine bağlı olarak
gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ayrıca çalışma alanında yaşayan nüfusun kozmik
radyasyondan etkilenme seviyeleri de tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma alanının tamam
için, Kozmik ışından kaynaklanan yılık etkin doz oranının ortalaması 0.65 mSv y-1ve değişim aralığı
(0.33-1.72) mSv y-1 olarak
hesaplanmıştır. Çalışma alanının geneli için yıllık kollektif etkin doz hızı
ise yaklaşık 508 insan-Sv y-1 olarak belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca kozmik
radyasyondan kaynaklanan kişi başı yılık etkin doz, sırasıyla Artvin, Rize ve
Trabzon için 449 , 376 ve 370 olarak tespit edilmiştir.
