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

In this paper, the evaluation of Rn-222 radioactivity content in drinking water samples from Calabria region, southern Italy, is reported as a case study. The Rn-222-specific activity analyzed groundwater for human use was evaluated by using PerkinElmer Tricarb 4910 TR setup and compared with parameter value (100 Bq L−1) reference Italian legislation, i.e., D.Lgs. 28/2016, derived European Directive 2013/51/Euratom. radiological health risk population investigated area, due to ingestion inhalation dissolved water, then calculating total annual effective dose, only those cases where exceeded. obtained results represent main area are useful determining any possible beings related radionuclide. Moreover, they can also be used baseline future investigations regarding background levels.
