Water treatment and radiologicals: What do we know?
The manner in which radionuclides is removed from water may result in additional exposure.
Author: Marianne R. Metzger
Radiologicals are a common occurrence in many groundwater sources and are more prevalent in certain areas depending on the geological formation surrounding the aquifer.
Typically, people are exposed to low levels of background radiation every day, but these levels can vary based upon geographic location, diet, occupation, lifestyle and daily activities. Since radiation is known to cause various types of cancer, we should limit our exposure to radiation when we can.
One way to limit exposure is to take a look at your water and any treatment equipment you may use. The manner in which radionuclides are removed from water may result in additional exposure dependent on the treatment employed.
