Natural radionuclides are omnipresent in the environment. However, our environment is also contaminated with anthropogenic radionuclides that appear as a consequence of human activities. One of the main sources of increased radioactive contamination in environment was nuclear accident in Chernobyl in 1986. Medicinal herbs have long history of worldwide consumption in traditional medicine. Therefore, it is necessary to control the usage of medicinal herbs and their products, from radiological point of view, as well. In that way, unwanted radiological effects on human health can be avoided. The paper deals with radiological analysis of 7 selected medicinal herbs: (Thymus serpyllum L., Breckland thyme; Hypericum perforatum L., St. John's wort; Rosa canina L., Dog-rose; Mentha sp., mint; Melissa officinalis L., Lemon balm; Tilia tomentosa L., Silver Linden; Achillea millefolium, Yarrow) from the region of Fruška Gora, Republic of Serbia. Specific activities of 137Cs, 40K and 210Pb in medic...inal herbs samples are determined by using HPGe gamma-ray spectrometer system. From obtained specific activities individual annual effective doses due to daily ingestion of 200 ml infusion of medicinal herbs were deduced. Obtained specific activities are in intervals: <1.4 Bq/kg, (303 – 1073) Bq/kg and (3.58 – 35.6) Bq/kg, for137Cs, 40K and 210Pb, respectively. Deduced individual annual effective doses due to ingestion are similar to the literature data and are smaller than the recommended limit of 100 μSv, defined in Article 8 of the Regulation on limits of radionuclide content in drinking water, foodstuffs, feeding stuffs, drugs, items of general use, building materials and other goods to be placed on the market (Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia, 2018). Therefore, a daily use of 200 mL of herbal infusion during a year made from the investigated medicinal herbs does not pose a significant radiological health risk for consumers.
