Background:
According to the world health organization, radon is a leading cause of cancer in various internal organs and should be regarded with concern.
Objectives:
The aim of this study is to evaluate the concentration of soluble radon in the drinking water of the city of Aliabad Katoul, Iran.
Materials And Methods:
The radon concentration was measured by using a radon meter, SARAD(TM) model RTM 1688-2, according to accepted standards of evaluation.
Results:
The mean radon concentration in the drinking water of Aliabad Katoul is 2.90 ± 0.57 Bq/L.
Conclusions:
The radon concentration in Aliabad Katoul is below the limit for hazardous levels, but some precautions will make conditions even safer for the local populace.
