Measurement of environmental radioactivity in components of different media on the Central Coast of Venezuela

The natural and artificial radioactivity in those components of the different media, linked to human activity, was measured. Possible sources of radioactivity were located and possible areas of environmental degradation were identified. A map of radioactivity levels of the Central Coast of Venezuela was made. Experimental data was provided, which will enable controlling and planning the urban, industrial and tourist development of the region under study.
