The physical–chemical properties of water are closely linked to the geological nature of the
site where they are located. This aspect becomes even more interesting when analyzing the …

In the last years the interest in drinking and mineral water radioactivity has grown. Recently
national and EU regulations replaced the previous drinking water norms with the aim to …

Drinking waters generally contain variable amounts of radioactivity. Many radionuclides, like
40K and those belonging to the natural decay series of 238U, 235U and 232Th, are …

The increasing interest in radioactivity has brought about the need for an assessment of
human exposure to radiation. It is, therefore, necessary to examine naturally occurring …

Spring waters in the south of Catalonia were analysed to determine the 222 Rn activity in
order to be able to establish a correlation between the obtained values with the geology of …

Drinking water, in addition to the best-known chemical and biological agents, contains
radionuclides of both natural and artificial origin, which can contribute significantly to the …

In the present study the radon radioactivity in selected groundwater (boreholes and wells)
from the Calabria region, south of Italy, was investigated. Water samples were analyzed by …

INTRODUCTION: Drinking waters usually contain several natural radionuclides: tritium,
radon, radium, uranium isotopes, etc. Their concentrations vary widely since they depend on …

In this study, three methods to measure activity concentrations of radionuclides through high
resolution gamma spectrometry are developed, optimized, and tested on drinking water …

The presence of radionuclides in drinking water constitutes a health risk for humans,
because the consumption of such water increases the likelihood of incurring cancer. In our …
