Analysis measures radioactive elements 238U, 232Th, and 40K in drinking water, suggesting health implications.
The radiological quality of 238U, 232Th, and 40K in drinking water samples (tap and RO planet water) collected in Kut, Iraq. Samples were measured using direct ray spectroscopy as reported in the current study. The mean activity concentrations of 238U, 232Th, and 40K for tap and RO drinking water were (1.5-3.78), (0.81-2.52), (9.08-27.04), (1.41-3.32), (0.8-2.43) , and (9.15-24.44) Bq.L-1 respectively. Drinking water (tap and RO planet) is expected to contain 238U, 232Th, and 40K at typical doses of (0.000049275-0.000124173), (0.000136-0.000423), (4.11E-05-1.22E-04), (4.63E-05-1.09E-04), and (0.000134-0.000408) individually.
