Radon-Specific Activity in Drinking Water and Radiological Health Risk Assessment: A Case Study

Radon-Specific Activity in Drinking Water and Radiological Health Risk Assessment: A Case Study

In this paper, the evaluation of the Rn-222 radioactivity content in drinking water samples from the Calabria region, southern Italy, is reported as a case study. The Rn-222-specific activity in the analyzed groundwater samples for human use was evaluated by using the PerkinElmer Tricarb 4910 TR set...
