Reconnaissance water sampling for radium-226 in central and northern Florida, December 1974-March 1976. Water-resources investigations
Description
Analyses of 115 water samples collected from December 1974 through March 1976 in eight Florida Counties indicated that 22 samples (19 percent) had radium-226 activites equal to or in excess of 3 piC/l (picocuries per liter). The maximum radium-226 activity was 90 piC/l occurring in water from a shallow well in Polk County. The sampling reconnaissance was generally limited to areas of active phosphate mining and areas of undisturbed phosphate deposits. Therefore, because the sampling was limited to such phosphate areas, it is not known if high radium-226 activities are also present elsewhere in the State
