26、162:2015-11 IntroductionThe carbon 14 (14C) present in the environment is of natural origin and man made. As a result of atmospheric nuclear weapon testing, emissions from nuclear engineering installations, and the application and processing of isotopes, relatively large amounts of 14C have been rel

27、eased into the environment. Due to the substantial proportion of 14C in the human internal dose contribution, monitoring of 14C activity concentrations in the environment is necessary in order to follow its circulation in the hydrosphere and biosphere. 14C is the second radionuclide (null3 500 Bq) t

28、o contribute to the human body natural radioactivity, behind 40K (null6 000 Bq).4EN ISO 13162:2015 (E) DIN EN ISO 13162:2015-11 WARNING Persons using this International Standard should be familiar with normal laboratory practice. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems,

29、if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the 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 according to this International Standard be carried ou

30、t by suitably trained staff.1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies the conditions for the determination of 14C activity concentration in samples of environmental water or of 14C-containing water using liquid scintillation counting.The method is applicable to the analysis of any organic molecul

31、e soluble in water that is well mixed with the scintillation cocktail. It does not apply to micelles or “large” particles (lipids, fulvic acid, humic acid, etc.) that are inadequately mixed with the scintillation cocktail and the water. Some beta energy is lost without any excitation of the scintill

32、ation cocktail and the results are underestimated. The method is not applicable to the analysis of organically bound 14C, whose determination requires additional chemical processing (such as chemical oxidation, combustion).It is possible to determine 14C activity concentrations below 106Bq lnull1wit

41、interaction of ionizing radiation with solvents and compounds exhibiting fluorescence (scintillators). Both solvents and scintillators constitute the scintillation cocktail. The scintillation mixture is achieved by adding the scintillation cocktail to the test sample in order to obtain a homogeneous

42、 mixture.The test sample is mixed with the scintillation cocktail in a counting vial to obtain a homogeneous medium. Electrons emitted by 14C transfer their energy to the scintillation medium. Molecules excited by this process return to their ground state by emitting photons that are detected by pho

43、todetectors.The electric pulses emitted by the photodetectors are amplified, sorted (in order to remove random events) and analysed by the electronic systems and the data analysis software. The count rate of these electric pulses allows the determination of the test sample activity, after correcting

44、 for the background count rate and detection efficiency.6EN ISO 13162:2015 (E) DIN EN ISO 13162:2015-11 In order to determine the background, a blank sample is prepared in the same way as the test sample. The blank sample is prepared using a reference water of the lowest activity available, in accor

45、dance with the activities to be measured.The detection efficiency is determined with a calibration sample that is prepared with a standard of aqueous 14C, or a dilution of this standard with reference water, measured under the same conditions as the test sample.The sample (blank, test, calibration)

46、and the measurement conditions shall be: same type of counting vial; same filling geometry; same scintillation cocktail; same ratio between test sample and scintillation cocktail; temperature stability of the detection apparatus; value of quench-indicating parameter included in calibration curve.A p

47、rerequisite for the direct determination of 14C in a water sample is the absence of or a negligible contribution from other beta-emitting radionuclides, such as 90Sr and Ra isotopes. When the radionuclide content of the sample is unknown, the method specified in this International Standard only prov

48、ides a 14C equivalent activity for the sample.Examples of methods of sample pretreatment are described in Annexes C and D.Concerning quench correction, if particular conditions of chemical quenching affect the measurement results, it is recommended that a quench curve be established. It is important to choose the chemical quenching agent in accordance with the supposed type of quenching observed in the sample.5 Reagents and equipment5.1 ReagentsDuring the analysis, unless otherwise stated, use only rea
