Radium and Radon in Danish Drinking Water

K. Ulbak and O. Klinder

Samples of raw and treated water from bored wells have been collected from all parts of Denmark and analysed for radium-226 and radon-222 content. Measurements of samples from the island Bornholm in the Baltic Sea have shown concentrations of radon-222 up to 1070 Bq.l-1 and concentrations of radium-226 up to 550 mBq.l-1. This corresponds to annual effective dose equivalents of up to 0.5 mSv from inhalation of radon-222 daughters and of 0.06 mSv from ingestion of radium-226. The doses from tap water outside Bornholm are estimated to be less than 5 µSv per year.
