If your home relies on well water, radon can be present in the water supply. Radon can be released into the indoor air when water is used for activities such as showering, cooking, or laundry.WIN’s Radon-In-Water Testtakes the Water Quality Test to a new level by specifically searching...
A study of 222Rn levels in the ground water supplies of the capital city of Saudi Arabia (Riyadh) was carried out. Such sources contribute up to 34% of the total city water demand. Samples were collected from 90 wells (75 deep and 15 shallow) out of 161 that supply water to six wate...
water supplies derived from wells (radon has a significant solubility in water). The gas can accumulate in the air of poorly ventilated houses. The decay of radon produces radioactive “daughters” (polonium,bismuth, andleadisotopes) that can be ingested from well water or can be absorbed in ...
Some well (ground) water in areas having high soil radium content may also be a source of indoor radon, as may natural gas or building materials containing radium. Often radon levels indoors tend to be highest in the lowest levels of a building, from which the gas can then permeate the ...
temperature lowers.[13] Upon condensation, it glows because of the intense radiation it produces.[14] It is sparingly soluble in water, but more soluble than lighter noble gases. It is appreciably more soluble in organic liquids than in water. Its solubility equation is as follows,[15][16]...
Radioactive decay of uranium in minerals, especially granite, generates radon gas that can diffuse through soil and rock and enter buildings through basements (radon has a higher density than air) and through water supplies derived from wells (radon has a significant solubility in water). The ...
Radon is a radioactive gas that occurs when certain elements in soil, rocks, and water break down. It is colorless, odorless, and can enter through cracks and holes in the foundation beneath your home. To mitigate the effects of radon, AprilAire Radon Control Professionals can install solutions...
A preliminary survey of airborne and waterborne radon concentrations was given for an area where groundwater is used as a source of public water supply. The average of the waterborne radon concentrations was 77 Bq/l for 36 samples and that of airborne radon concentrations was 18 Bq/m 3 for ...
