Drinking Water Problems:Radionuclides - TWON
Radionuclides are types of atoms that areradioactive. The most common radionu-clides in Drinking Water are radium, radonand uranium. Most of the radionuclides in Drinking Water occur nat-urally at very low levels and are not considered a pub-lic health concern. However, radionuclides can also bedischarged into Drinking Water from human activity,such as from active nuclear power plants or other facil-ities that make or use radioactive who are exposed to relatively high levels ofradionuclides in Drinking Water for long periods maydevelop serious health problems, such as cancer, ane-mia, osteoporosis, cataracts, bone growths, kidneydisease, liver disease and impaired immune are the Sources of Radionuclides in Water ?
levels no higher than 4,000 pCi/L. Because about 1/10,000th of radon in water transfers to air, this would contribute about 0.4 pCi/L of radon to the air in a home.
