Gamma spectrometric measurements of radon daughter 214Bi in surface waters
Main Article Content
Abstract
Gamma spectrometric measurements of Bi and Tl have been performed in water and bottom sediments of the Odra river, Poland, and some of its tributaries. Obtained results indicate that radon flux from the bottom sediment is significantly greater than radon produced by Ra present in water. Presence of water saturated sediments and influx of ground waters promote both radon and thoron migration.
Effects of antropogenic coal mining Ra and Chernobyl Cs anomalies are insignificant.
