Lifetime risk assessment of Radium-226 in drinking water samples
Background: One of the most significant radionuclides in natural drinking waters is 226Ra and its decay products. It is potential of health problems, including cancer risk. In this study, the effect of 226Ra concentration in 28 drinking water samples collected from the North Guilan province was investigated. Materials and Methods: The activity concentrations of 226Ra were measured by using of r...
متن کاملEvaluating Nanoparticle Breakthrough during Drinking Water Treatment
BACKGROUND Use of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) in consumer products is resulting in NPs in drinking water sources. Subsequent NP breakthrough into treated drinking water is a potential exposure route and human health threat. OBJECTIVES In this study we investigated the breakthrough of common NPs--silver (Ag), titanium dioxide (TiO2), and zinc oxide (ZnO)--into finished drinking water follow...
متن کاملThe Environmental Science of Drinking Water
by Triatoma infestans after insecticide spraying has caused elimination efforts in the dry Chaco region to fail repeatedly. The sources and spatial extent that need to be considered to understand the reinfestation pattern and to plan a comprehensive control program were studied in 2 adjacent rural communities in northwestern Argentina from 1993 to 1997. The effects of external, residual , and p...
متن کاملEnvironmental health risk assessment of nickel contamination of drinking water in a country town in NSW.
OBJECTIVES To assess the health risks associated with consumption of drinking water with elevated nickel concentration in a NSW country town named Sampleton. METHODS We used enHealth Guidelines (2002) as our risk assessment tool. Laboratory test results for nickel in water samples were compared with the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines 2004 and the World Health Organization's (WHO) Guidel...
متن کاملEvaluating Corrosion and Scaling Potential of Drinking Water Supplies in Juybar, North of Iran
Background & purpose: One of the major factors in the quality of drinking water is corrosion and scaling. The aim of the present study was to evaluate corrosion and scaling potential of drinking water supply network in Juybar (A city in Iran). Materials and Methods: 60 samples of drinking water in distribution network were collected randomly in summer and autumn seasons and transferred into ...
