title: Establishment of a method for ²²²Rn determination in water by low-level liquid scintillation counter.
abstract: A procedure for the determination of (222)Rn in environmental water samples using liquid scintillation counting (LSC) was performed. The (226)Ra content in the water was determined by gamma-ray spectroscopy. An application of this procedure to drinking water collected from a public drinking fountain in Vojvodina (Serbia) is presented, including calculations of the annual effective dose for ingestion and inhalation for adults.
