226Ra in drinking water in the Republic of Croatia.
Owing to its exceptional radiotoxicity 226Ra in drinking water may directly affect human health. Its presence was investigated in several categories of drinking water in Croatia: well water, tap water from several municipal water supply systems and bottled mineral water. The method of 226Ra determination was alpha-spectrometric measurement after radiochemical separation. The 226Ra content in all investigated categories of waters are below the legislative level permissible for human health.
