Análisis De La Radiactividad En Aguas Del Balneario De Villavieja (Castellón)

Radioactivity analysis of Villavieja Spa water was carried out by the CIEMAT Laboratory of Environmental Radioactivity. With this aim the most important natural radionuclides were determined in water from spring water. The measurement and knowledge of radioactivity level in water is an interesting and convenient topic. The consumption of water which has dissolved some radionuclides could lead to internal irradiation both by ingestion and by inhalation. Therefore it is necessary, in some cases, to determine the water radioactivity level in order to assess the dose.
