Title: Natural Radioisotope Identification in the Local Environment
Developed under the guidance of Dr. Jason Ezell , Chemistry

An Ortec Germanium gamma ray detector was used to determine the radioactive isotopes present in various air and soil samples taken from the surrounding area. The resulting measurements are presented to give a depiction of the level of natural radiation in our area as well as possible health effects.
