Summary:

Moreover, to find out the natural radioactivity in the caves, the gamma spectroscopic analysis of soil, stone and stalagmite samples were carried out and their relations with the radon gas in the cave atmosphere were analyzed. The effective annual dose to which tourist guides and visitors are exposed were calculated for both caves.
