radioactivity monitoring in drinking water of zahedan, iran
Authors
abstract
background: the present research has focused on the effect of radioactivity on drinking water from five sites in the region of zahedan city. materials and methods: the measurement of water activity in wells, river and spring has been used as a screening method. the determination of gamma emitters was performed by use the application of gamma spectrometry. results: the values of radium concentration was between less than 2 mbq/l to 3±0.4 for water wells, 5±0.4 mbq/l for river, and less than 2 mbq/l for spring. conclusion: all values of activity in the selected water samples were lower than the permissible limit for drinking water consumption. the water was safe for drinking, washing and agricultural use.

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 ...

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...

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...

Background: Activity concentrations of 40K, 226Ra and 228Ra were measured in some sachet drinking water samples produced in Nigeria. Materials and Methods: The measurement was done by using high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector (Canberra Industries Inc.). The measured activity concentrations for 226Ra (U-series) and 228Ra (Thseries) were used with their ingested dose conversion factors ...
