摘要
Radon concentration measurements were performed in four spas used for therapy, drinking and irrigation purposes in the Amasya basin in Turkey, during a period of time between January 2009 and May 2010. The measurements were done using commercially available WG-1001 Vacuum Water Degassing System and the AB-5R Radiation Monitor manufactured by Pylon Electronics. The observed radon concentration values ranged from 0.11 to 0.71 Bq L-1. Effective doses from inhalation of radon released from spa waters have been estimated between 0.28 and 1.78 Sv y(1).
