Abstract
Exposure to radon and radon progeny within the home and at work constitutes one of the greatest hazards from radiation. Radon is continually generated from uranium and thorium, which occur in many rocks and soil. The concentration of 222Rn was measured in tap, natural spring and well water samples gathered from several places from the north-eastern area of Morocco. This work aims to determine any potential radiological hazard for the local population which might be due to an inevitable high concentration of radon in drinking water. We utilised an AlphaGUARD radon gas detector to perform our measurements. The results show reasonable radon concentrations when compared with international recommendations.
