Analysis of short-term temporal variations of 222Rn, other naturally occurring radionuclides, stable elements and environmental parameters in groundwater and surface drinking water in Norway [PDF]

Frontiers in Public Health
IntroductionExposure to radon-222 (222Rn) is a common problem in areas with high uranium-238 (238U) content in the subsurface. The gas may enter dwellings through cracks and gaps in the foundation, or groundwater collected for household use.

Radioactivity of Drinking Waters from Different Regions of Bulgaria in the Period 2017-2019 [PDF]

Bulgarian Journal of Soil Science, 2021
Radioactivity of drinking waters is determined by trace quantities of natural radionuclides 238U, 232Th, their daughter products and 40K. They are transferred to water by processes of erosion and dissolution of aquifer rocks and minerals.
