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 کاملThe Safety of Public Water Supplies
of which was the fact that throughout the operations on the Western Front there was no epidemic of any water-borne diseases. Bearing in mind that in a large number of instances the ordinary sources of supply were either rendered useless or totally destroyed, and that to make up the deficiency drinking water for the armies had to be taken haphazard from streams, canals and rivers, the entire suc...
متن کاملHierarchical Modeling of Arsenic Concentrations at Entry Points in US Public Drinking Water Supplies
A Bayesian hierarchical model is built to describe arsenic concentrations in treated water from sources of public drinking water systems. The model allows us to decompose the total variability in arsenic concentration into three components: between-system, between-source (within system) and within-source variabilities. Predictions about what percentage of a state's systems and sources aaected b...
متن کاملA survey of natural uranium concentrations in drinking water supplies in Iran
Background: Measurement of back ground concentration of uranium in drinking water is very important for many reasons, specially, for human health. The uranium concentration in drinking water in many counties is a matter of concern for clinical and radioactive poisoning. Materials and Methods: The uranium concentration in drinking water is determined using laser flourimatric uranium analyzer. Fo...
متن کاملRelation of Trihalomethane Concentrations in Public Water Supplies to Stillbirth and Birth Weight in Three Water Regions in England
We investigated the association between total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) and risk of stillbirth and low and very low birth weight in three water regions in England, 1992-1998; associations with individual trihalomethanes (THMs) were also examined. Modeled estimates of quarterly TTHM concentrations in water zones, categorized as low (< 30 microg/L), medium (30-59 microg/L), or high (> or = 60 micro...
