چکیده

the activity concentrations of 235u, 232th, 226ra, 40k and 137cs in ground and surface of drinking water resources in iranian city of arak were determined by gamma ray spectrometry with ahpge detector setup, coaxial p type and 8192 channels mca. the water samples differed in radioactivity content depending on their origin and place. in the drinking water samples from aman abad, mobarak abad, and taramazd wells, the mean values of 226ra activity concentration were 8.43±1.96, 1.56 ±1.04, 1.29±1.07 and 2.20±0.10 bq/l and the mean values of 232th were 2.70± 0.18, 0.41±0.16 and 1.27±0.44 bq/l, respectively. the maximum and minimum activity concentrations of 232th belong to amman abad area wells no. 7 and mobarak abad area wells no. 3, respectively. in kamal saleh water, the results of activity concentrations show 0.33 ± 0.14 and 0.08±0.03 bq/l for 232th and 137cs, respectively. the other radionuclide activities were lower than mda. a mean annual effective dose for 232th and 226ra taken into the body by population drinking water for kamal saleh dam water and aman abad well no. 14 was calculated to be 0.01 ±0.00 and 1.84±0.17 msv/year respectively, which is lower than the limit recommended by who.

Natural radioactivity of drinking water in Finland.

The mean annual effective dose from natural radionuclides for users of drilled wells was estimated to be 0.41 mSv, for users of wells dug in the ground 0.05 mSv and for people using water from waterworks 0.02 mSv. The highest effective dose from drinking water was caused by 222Rn (Fig. 2) constituting 75% and 60% of the total effective dose caused by all natural radionuclides for drilled-well u...

Natural Radioactivity in Drinking Water of Drilled Wells in Zanjan, Northwestern Iran

Background: Many radioactive compounds may be released into the environment and hence into the drinking water supplies due to the human activities. Radionuclides can also enter the food chain if the contaminated water is used for drinking or irrigation purposes. Objective: To estimate the annual effective dose of natural radioactive materials like 226Ra and 40K in drinking water of wells in Zan...
