Abstract
In this work Authors describe the methodology of gross alpha and gross beta activities determination in water samples. The chosen method is dedicated to LSC and is based on ISO 11704:2018 and it is suitable for ground waters with low and medium salinity, especially drinking or tap waters as well as medicinal waters (with healing properties, using in health resorts). Authors describe the proper sampling, laboratory preparation including radon removal and measurements conditions. The local and European law regulations showing the limits of radioactivity of drinking waters and medicinal waters are presented. This work presents also selected data of gross alpha and gross beta activities from selected research: the highest levels is measured in Jordanian (gross alpha) and in Brazil (gross beta) and it is respectively 3.58 Bq/L and 5.22 Bq/L.
