    Author: Oner F, Yigitoglu I, Yalim HA.
    Journal: Radiat Prot Dosimetry; 2013 Dec; 157(2):221-4. PubMed ID: 23685534.
    Abstract:
    Radon concentration measurements were performed in four spas used for therapy, drinking and irrigation purposes in the Amasya basin in Turkey, during a period of time between January 2009 and May 2010. The measurements were done using commercially available WG-1001 Vacuum Water Degassing System and the AB-5R Radiation Monitor manufactured by Pylon Electronics. The observed radon concentration values ranged from 0.11 to 0.71 Bq L⁻¹. Effective doses from inhalation of radon released from spa waters have been estimated between 0.28 and 1.78 μSv y⁻¹ .
