Waterborne Radon in NJ

["R. William Field" <bill-field@uiowa.edu>]

To: Joe Stencel,

In response to your 2 questions --

1) waterborne radon studies in NJ

Zoltan Szabo and Otto S. Zapecza have examined the geologic and geochemical
factors controlling uranium, radium-226, and radon-222 in ground water,
Newark Basin, New Jersey.  I believe the work was performed in conjunction
with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.  I have a
reference if you are interested.  You may also want to talk to Sandy Wilcox
at the Dept. of Health in NJ.  

2) What is the annual average dose from radon -

You need to be a bit more specific.  Are you looking for dose from
ingestion or secondary airborne exposure from a waterborne radon soource?

Crawford-Brown has published quite a few articles describing specific organ
doses for ingested waterborne radon.  

Please contact me directly if you need references.

Regards, Bill Field
