Gross alpha and beta activities in potable waters used by pharmaceutical companies in India
- 1. Environmental Radiation Monitoring Section, Health Physics Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai (India)
Description
This paper presents the gross alpha and gross beta radioactivity present in potable waters used by pharmaceutical firms from different states of India. A three year analysis in more than 90 water samples indicated that the gross alpha activity was observed to be in the range of <1 to 42.9±2.5mBq/l while gross beta activity was in the range of <20 to 67.6±2 mBq/l. Higher level of activity was observed in Goa waters. However the activities were observed to be within the limits of drinking water regulations as per USEPA 40CFR.141 and WHO regulations. (author)
