Radon Technologies provides radon air & water testing and mitigation services to residents in Central Maine.
The University of Maine has been devising procedures for dealing with radiation accumulation and disposal problems for granular activated carbon (GAC) filters, which were used to remove radon from drinking water. The study was done in collaboration with water utilitie...
Assessing radon hazard in drinking water: A comprehensive approach integrating deterministic and probabilistic methods with water consumption routines 2024, Science of the Total Environment Citation Excerpt : While inhalation remains the main exposure pathway, in the areas where the population consumes spring...
We explore the use of Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) as a mitigation technique for the treatment of drinking water that was artificially enriched with Rn-222 in laboratory by placing a radium rich granite stone (pitchblende) in a closed container filled with tap water for several days in order...

High Radon-222 (222Rn) concentrations exist in ground water from most granitic rocks in Maine. Some values exceed the suggested limit of 500 pCi/1 (E.P.A., 1976) by more than 100 times. Although high values (x虅= 22,100 pCi/1) are conclusively linked with the granites, high values...

In contrast, an epidemiologic study conducted in Finland to evaluate the risk of developing stomach cancer due to the presence of Rn in drinking water showed no association (HR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.29 –1.59 at 100 Bq/L water), even for Rn concentrations exceeding 300 Bq/L. This study ...
