Testing for Radium-228 in Water
Testing your water supply for radium-228 is an important step in maintaining your family’s health and well-being.
What Is Radium-228?
Radium-228 is a naturally occurring radioactive isotope that is part of the decay chain of thorium. In water testing, detecting radium-228 is vital to assessing the presence of radioactive contaminants in groundwater, similar to radium-226.
It typically occurs in water due to leaching from geological formations containing natural radioactive elements, making its monitoring crucial for ensuring water safety in areas with such geological conditions.
Affects of Radium-228 in Water
The presence of radium-228 in water indicates radioactive contamination, which can compromise the safety of the water supply. Unlike contaminants that affect taste or color, the effects of radium-228 aren’t detectable without proper testing, which is essential to ensure that water meets health and safety standards.
High concentrations of radium-228 necessitate intervention through water treatment processes to bring levels within acceptable limits for safe consumption.
Health Issues Related to Radium-228 in Drinking Water
Due to its radioactive characteristics, exposure to radium-228 through drinking water raises significant health concerns. Prolonged consumption can increase the risk of cancer, particularly affecting bone tissue, because radium-228, similar to radium-226, can accumulate in bones over time.
Continuous monitoring and managing radium-228 levels in water supplies are critical to protecting your family and home and ensuring exposure remains below recommended safety thresholds.
