Overview

Randomized trial assesses radon levels in water, indicating low health risks in local populations.

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the concentration of radon gas in drinking water and its associated health risks in specific districts.
Collected 20 tap water samples from Al-Kifl (10) and Al-Mahawil (10).
Measured radon concentrations, annual effective doses, and cancer risk indices.
Compared findings to the permissible limits set by WHO and EPA.
Radon concentrations ranged from 0.157 Bq L-1 to 0.320 Bq L-1, below the limit of 0.5 Bq L-1.
Annual effective doses varied from 0.401 μSv y-1 to 0.817 μSv y-1, less than the limit of 100 μSv y-1.
Cancer risk ranged from 0.0154 × 10−4 to 0.0314 × 10−4, remaining below the threshold of 10−4.
