ISO 13164-4 Radon in Water by Emanation Test

ISO 13164-4 Radon in Water by Emanation Test

ISO 13164-4 Radon in Water by Emanation Test

The ISO 13164-4 standard provides a method for the determination of radon concentration in water using the emanation technique. This testing is essential for ensuring compliance with environmental regulations aimed at mitigating exposure to radon, particularly in drinking water sources.

Radon is a colorless and odorless gas that can pose significant health risks when present in high concentrations within enclosed spaces such as homes or buildings. It originates from the natural radioactive decay of uranium, which is found in soil and rocks. When it dissolves into groundwater, radon can be released into indoor air through plumbing systems, leading to potential inhalation hazards.

The emanation technique employed by ISO 13164-4 involves measuring the rate at which radon escapes from water samples over time. This approach allows for accurate quantification of radon levels without requiring extensive sample processing or complex instrumentation. The procedure ensures reliable results suitable for regulatory compliance and scientific research.

Compliance with this standard is critical for organizations involved in water treatment, public health monitoring, environmental impact assessments, and any entity responsible for ensuring safe drinking water quality. By adhering to ISO 13164-4, these stakeholders can demonstrate their commitment to protecting human health by minimizing exposure to radon.

Our laboratory uses state-of-the-art equipment and experienced personnel to perform ISO 13164-4 testing reliably and efficiently. Our facilities are equipped with specialized apparatus designed specifically for this type of analysis, ensuring accurate measurements every time. The precision and accuracy achieved through our methods allow us to provide clients with reliable data they can trust.
