12、tion for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established

13、has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.The

14、 procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the ed

20、ity from several naturally occurring and human-made sources is present throughout the environment. Thus, water bodies (surface waters, groundwaters, sea waters) can contain radionuclides of natural and human-made origin. Natural radionuclides, including potassium-40, and those of the thorium and ura

21、nium decay series, in particular radium-226, radium-228, uranium-234, uranium-238, lead-210, can be found in water for natural reasons (e.g. desorption from the soil and wash-off by rain water) or releases from technological processes involving naturally occurring radioactive materials (e.g. the min

22、ing and processing of mineral sands or phosphate fertilizer production and use). Human-made radionuclides such as transuranium elements (americium, plutonium, neptunium, curium), tritium, carbon-14, strontium-90 and gamma-emitting radionuclides can also be found in natural waters as they can be auth

23、orized to be routinely released into the environment in small quantities in the effluent discharged from nuclear fuel cycle facilities and following their used in unsealed form in medicine or industry. They are also found in water due to the past fallout of the explosion in the atmosphere of nuclear

24、 devices and the accidents at Chernobyl and Fukushima.Drinking-water can thus contain radionuclides at activity concentration which could present a risk to human health. In order to assess the quality of drinking-water (including mineral waters and spring waters) with respect to its radionuclide con

25、tent and to provide guidance on reducing health risks by taking measures to decrease radionuclide activity concentrations, water resources (groundwater, river, lake, sea, etc.) and drinking water are monitor for their radioactivity content as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO).Standa

26、rd test methods for radon-222 activity concentrations in water samples are needed by test laboratories carrying out such measurements in fulfillment of national authority requirements. Laboratories may have to obtain a specific accreditation for radionuclide measurement in drinking water samples.The

27、 radon activity concentration in surface water is very low, usually below 1 Bq l1. In groundwater, the activity concentration varies from 1 Bq l1up to 50 Bq l1in sedimentary rock aquifers, from 10 Bq l1up to 300 Bq l1in wells, and from 100 Bq l1up to 1 000 Bq l1in crystalline rocks. The highest acti

28、vity concentrations are normally measured in rocks with high concentration of uranium (Reference 30).High variations in the activity concentrations of radon in aquifers have been observed. Even in a region with relatively uniform rock types, some well water may exhibit radon activity concentration g

29、reatly higher than the average value for the same region. Significant seasonal variations have also been recorded (see Annex A).Water may dissolve chemical substances as it passes from the soil surface to an aquifer or spring waters. The water may pass through or remain for some time in rock, some f

30、ormations of which may contain a high concentration of natural radionuclides. Under favourable geochemical conditions, the water may selectively dissolve some of these natural radionuclides.Guidance on radon in drinking-water supplies provided by WHO in 2008 suggests that controls should be implemen

31、ted if the radon concentration of drinking-water for public water supplies exceeds 100 Bq l1. It also recommended that any new, especially public, drinking-water supply using groundwater should be tested prior to being used for general consumption and that if the radon concentration exceeds 100 Bq l

32、1, treatment of the water source should be undertaken to reduce the radon levels to well below that level (Reference 41).This International Standard is one of a series dealing with the measurement of the activity concentration of radionuclides in water samples.

This document does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of t

34、he user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure compliance with any national regulatory conditions.IMPORTANT It is absolutely essential that tests conducted in accordance with this document be carried out by suitably qualified staff.1 ScopeThis part of ISO 13164 gives gene

35、ral guidelines for sampling, packaging, and transporting of all kinds of water samples, for the measurement of the activity concentration of radon-222.The test methods fall into two categories:a) direct measurement of the water sample without any transfer of phase (see ISO 13164-2);b) indirect measu

36、rement involving the transfer of the radon-222 from the aqueous phase to another phase (see ISO 13164-3).The test methods can be applied either in the laboratory or on site.The laboratory is responsible for ensuring the suitability of the test method for the water samples tested.2 Normative referenc
