dc.description.abstractDrinking water may contain varying levels of radioactivity. It is therefore important to determine the radium levels in drinking waters for public health and radiation protection. This paper presents results of 226Ra concentrations in bottled spring waters. The concentration of radium has been assessed in the bottled natural spring water samples commercially available in Turkey. Measurements of 226Ra concentrations in bottled natural spring water samples were carried out by AlphaGUARD, measuring the radon in equilibrium with radium. The radium concentration in these samples is found to be between 0.03 and 0.43 Bq·L-1. These values were compared with the recommended safe limits for drinking water.
