摘要

The radon (Rn-222) activity in tap water from the public water supplies in Montenegro has been analyzed for the first time, together with well water from the Central region. A maximum Rn-222 concentration was below 10 Bq L−1. The population-weighted average annual effective dose from radon indoors (ingestion and inhalation) is found to be 2.48 mSv. Excess lifetime risks for stochastic effects were assessed to indicate health risks due to exposure to indoor radon. Correlations among radon activity in indoor air and drinking water and Ra-226 activity in soil were also analyzed, to establish baselines for a further research.
