Radon
concentrations in water using rad-7 technical:
Review.
|
Abstract
Radon is an inert gas that is very dangerous to humans and exists in
varying proportions in soil, air and
various water sources. Additionally, radon gas has a shorter lifespan
but poses a greater public health
risk. Humans are good users of water, whether through food, drinking
water, vegetables, showering or
washing dishes, but we don’t yet have a good understanding of the
dangers of radon gas and we need to
do more research because it is a major one of the water sources.
Factors responsible for various cancers
such as lung cancer and gastric cancer. This review uses different data
from a number of studies in
different countries (Brazil, Sudan, India, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and
Qatar) that use RAD7 detectors due to
their higher accuracy and faster detection measurements. This study
found that Brazil’s average radon
level is high (36.1 Bq/L), which is higher than the world drinking
water standard value (103 Bq/L).
There are many influencing factors in each country, and the issue of
low radon concentrations in water
is controversial. |
