Re: EPA certification & regulation of radium in bottled waters??

[RadiumProj@cs.com]

Radsafe:

Davide Capra asks a question in his post whether EPA certification [regarding 
lab analyses] is necessary for importing bottled water in the US. This raises 
a more basic question: Is there any EPA regulation of Ra-226 or Ra-228 levels 
in bottled water sold in the US at all, whether domestic or imported?  To my 
understanding there is no regulation of natural radioactivity in bottled 
waters sold in the U.S. Does anyone have any contrary knowledge and specific 
references?
