Examining Gross Alpha and Beta Radionuclide Levels in Drinking Water Sources of IlamProvince

Monitoring drinking water quality is vital for assessing potential radiation exposure. This studymeasured gross beta and alpha activities in water samples from Ilam using liquid scintillation. Results showedgross alpha activity concentrations ranging from ۳۲ mBq/l to ۹۹ mBq/l (average: ۶۷ mBq/l) and gross betaactivity concentrations ranging from ۵۴ mBq/l to ۱۷۲ mBq/l (average: ۱۰۲ mBq/l). A weak positive correlationof ۰.۲۶ was found between alpha and beta concentrations. These findings indicate that the analyzed watersamples are safe for consumption, as they are free from radiological hazards.
