Natural radioactivity in drinking water in the surroundings of a metamorphic outcrop in Hungary: interpretation of practical problems in groundwater flow system context
Abstract:<p>Our study aimed to understand the origin of elevated (>100 mBqL<sup>&#8211;1</sup>) gross alpha activity measured in groundwater-derived drinking water in the vicinity of the Sopron Mountains and Lake Fert&#337; (Neusiedl). Water samples from 10 springs and 7 water wells were analyzed for major ions and trace elements. Total U and <sup>226</sup>Ra activity concentrations were determined by alpha spectrometry using N… Show more
