“…In areas where uranium content in rocks is low, radon content in groundwater is also low (no more than several dozen Bq/L) [5][6][7]. However, it is not uncommon A technology of drinking water decontamination from radon and its decay products to fi nd thousands and tens of thousands of Bq/L in water in some countries in Northern Europe, as well as in Czechia and Russia (Ural) [8][9][10]. According to the United Nations Scientifi c Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR), as many as 10% of water sources used worldwide have radon concentrations exceeding 100 Bq/L [11].…”

AbstractUnderground water is one of the main sources of radon for households. This article focuses on the estimation and removal of radon from underground water using the technology and inorganic sorbents developed by EKSORB Ltd., Russia for liquid radioactive waste treatment in the nuclear power industry. The article presents the results of tests of a system for the removal of radon and radon daughters from water patented by EKSORB. This is achieved by filtering water through RATZIR sorbent, followed by periodic load regeneration. Over a period of three years, the plant is successful in removing radon from the water that had an initial radon content of approximately 1500 Bq/L to less than 60 Bq/L, without releasing radon to indoor/outdoor air.
