Abstract

The radioactivity of young sediments of some lakes on the Danube-Tisza Interfluve is remarkably high compared to their environment. We have performed X-ray diffractional and bulk chemistry analyses on two typical examples to determine their mineral composition and major element content, and to examine how close the relation between the radioactive element content and the mineral composition of the lake mud is. We have found that the boundaries of radioactive element rich areas are in accordance with the changes in mineral composition. Thus, mineral composition is also responsible for radiological conditions. In both lakes the mineral set originates from the break down of rocks of granitoid composition.
