Radiat Prot Dosimetry. 2017 Nov 1;177(1-2):190-193. doi: 10.1093/rpd/ncx144.

Abstract

Water is one of the most important resources for a human being; therefore, its quality should be properly tested. According to Council Directive No. 2013/51/EUROATOM, there shall be established requirements for the general public health protection with regard to radioactive substances in water intended for human consumption. This article summarises measurement results of selected water samples at 444 private drinking water wells, which are not subject to regular inspection in terms of the Czech legislation.
