Abstract
Concentration levels of natural radionuclides in mineral waters have been studied in several European countries. In the Federal Republic of Germany in recent years a nationwide investigation was carried out by several institutions. The concentrations of 226Ra, uranium isotopes, 210Pb and 210Po found are similar to those in other European countries. While for adults the health risk from drinking mineral water is comparable to the risk from terrestrial radiation, special consideration has to be given to the risk of infants when mineral water is used for preparing their food.
