Abstract:

A study of the radioactive content of drinking mineral bottled water in Poland was carried out. ²¹⁰Po, ²³⁸U and ²³⁴U activity concentrations were determined by alpha-spectrometry with low-level-activity silicon detectors. The results revealed that the mean concentration of ²¹⁰Po, ²³⁸U and ²³⁴U in analyzed water sample were 1.28, 0.80 and 0.80 mBq^.dm^-3, respectively. The effective doses due to the polonium and uranium emissions were calculated for bottled drinking water.
