摘要: On global scale, groundwater has been gaining increasing attention as essential and vital water resource. Its demand rising rapidly in the last several decades with overpopulation enhanced standards of living. In recent years, a great interest arose towards natural radioactivity water. Radon concentrations were measured thirty samples from Qassim area, Saudi Arabia by using RAD7 an electronic radon detector connected to RAD- H 2 O accessory (Durridge Co., USA). The concentration ranges 0.76 Bq/l 9.15 average value 3.56 Bq/l. values are well range within EPA’s maximum contaminant level (MCL) 11.1 Bq L -1 . total annual effective dose resulting Buraydah area significantly lower than UNSCEAR WHO recommended limit for members public 1 mSv year underground study suggest that is safe farmers there no significant threat population per concerned.
