Abstract

Natural and fallout radioactivity concentrations in the water-hyacinth samples collected from 22
major water-bodies of the district of Jessore, Bangladesh, were measured with a low level gamma ray
spectrometry system consisting of a high resolution HPGe coaxial detector. Energy and efficiency
calibration of the detector have been done with the standard sources supplied by the International Atomic
Energy Agency (IAEA).

Key words: Baor; Natural lake; Radioactivity; Water-hyacinth
