“…The concentrations of uranium in foreign groundwater have been reported as 4.41 lgÁl À1 in Arizona of America, and as 4.06 and 5.10 lgÁl À1 in British Columbia and Quebec of Canada, respectively, (US EPA, 1999a). In the case of Fujian province in China, where the radon concentration in groundwater appeared to be a little high, the concentration of uranium in groundwater was as low as 0.54 lgÁl À1 , so the reported distribution for radioactive substances is similar to that from the results in our country (Zhuo et al, 2001;IERY, 2001).…”

“…In Extremadura, close to Portugal, small aqueducts carry water with 226 Ra content up to 720 mBq/l and mitigation processes have been considered [67]. Radium monitoring in water resources has been accomplished in many other countries [33,51,[68][69][70][71][72][73][74]. Interesting cases are found in Middle East.…”

Abstract. Introduction. Drinking waters usually contain several natural radionuclides: tritium, radon, radium, uranium isotopes, etc. Their concentrations vary widely since they depend on the nature of the aquifer, namely, the prevailing lithology and whether there is air in it or not. Aims. In this work a broad overview of the radioactivity in drinking water is presented: national and international regulations, for limiting the presence of radioactivity in waters intended for human consumption; results of extensive campaigns for monitoring radioactivity in drinking waters, including mineral bottled waters, carried out throughout the world in recent years; a draft of guidelines for the planning of campaigns to measure radioactivity in drinking water proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency (ARPA) of Lombardia.Key words: radioactivity, drinking water, water quality, public health. Riassunto (Radioattività nell'acqua potabile: le normative, i risultati dei monitoraggi e i problemi di radioprotezione).Introduzione. L'acqua potabile contiene normalmente molti radionuclidi naturali: trizio, radon, isotopi del radio e dell'uranio, ecc. La loro concentrazione è molto variabile perché dipende dalla natura dell'acquifero, dalla presenza di aria in esso e dalla litologia prevalente. Scopi. In questo lavoro è presentata un'ampia rassegna sul tema della radioattività nelle acque potabili: le norme nazionali e internazionali per limitare la presenza di radioattività nell'acqua destinata al consumo umano; i risultati di estese campagne di monitoraggio nelle acque potabili, comprese le acque minerali imbottigliate, condotte nel mondo negli ultimi anni; una proposta di linea guida per la pianificazione di campagne di misura della radioattività nell'acqua potabile elaborata dall'Agenzia Regionale di Protezione Ambientale (ARPA) della Lombardia.Parole chiave: radioattività, acqua potabile, qualità dell'acqua, sanità pubblica.

“…Olguin et al (1993) reported 11.3 Bq/L as highest value in the city of Toluca. However, much higher values have been reported over the world, like 122.2 Bq/L in Brazil (Bonotto and Caprioglio, 2002), 3735 Bq/L in China (Zhou et al, 2001) and 3470 Bq/L in Sweden (Salih et al, 2004).…”
