Radon and radium could pose serious risk to human health that is why our preliminary research was concentrated on their concentration in tap drinking waters from the Kavadarci municipality. We sampled three locations within city limits there have been determined radon concentrations respectively. of 0.53 Bq/l; 0.70 Bq/l 0,87 were for samples K1, K2 K3, respectively, which are 12 21 times less t...

Background: In this study, the health risk associated with three types of drinking waters (fissure, underground treated and surrounding waters) from two mines in South Africa were assessed. Materials and Methods: The measurement of the radionuclides concentration was carried out by liquid scintillation counter and alpha spectrometer. The estimated radiological risk pose to the people consuming ...

Despite considerable interest in using stable-hydrogen isotope ratio (deltaD) measurements in ecological research, it was previously unknown whether hydrogen derived from drinking water, in addition to that derived from diet, contributed to the nonexchangeable hydrogen in animal tissues. We raised four experimental groups of quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) from hatch on two isotopically dist...

The paper presents general characteristics and legal regulations for the use of thermomineral waters in Serbia, provides information on regional position geological Tulare near Medvedja, springs water methods testing physical chemical are described. In addition, results measuring temperature, hardness, acidity, composition given. measurements showed that belongs to homeothermal waters, is soft ...
