Sediment and soil samples numbering 321 were collected along the Gediz river and analysed for (238)eU, (232)eTh, K-40, Ra-226, Mg and Pb. Two factors in soil and sediment, which account for 59% and 56% of the total variance, respectively, were extracted and named as geological structure and volcano. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
