Analysis of short-term temporal variations of 222Rn, other naturally occurring radionuclides, stable elements and environmental parameters in groundwater and surface drinking water... by Aleksander Sverdrup Aarsand, Jelena Mrdakovic Popic, Hans-Christian Teien

“…In water, the gas often co-occurs with other naturally occurring radionuclides (NOR), such as radium-226 (226Ra) and polonium-210 (210Po). These may, in combination with chemically toxic elements, negatively affect water quality and consequently human health.Materials and methodsTo investigate 222Rn content in drinking water and changes over time, water quality in six sampling points in western Norway were monitored over a period of 17 months. …”
