Water quality - Gross alpha and gross beta activity - Test method using thin source deposit (ISO/DIS 10704:2026)

Warning — Persons using this document should be familiar with normal laboratory practice. This document does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices. IMPORTANT — It is absolutely essential that tests conducted in accordance with this document be carried out by suitably qualified staff. This document specifies a method for the determination of gross alpha and gross beta activity concentrations for alpha- and beta-emitting radionuclides. Gross alpha and gross beta activity measurement is not intended to give an absolute determination of the activity concentration of all alpha and beta emitting radionuclides in a test sample, but is a screening analysis to ensure particular reference levels of specific alpha and beta emitters have not been exceeded. This type of determination is also known as gross alpha and gross beta index. Gross alpha and gross beta analysis is not expected to be as accurate nor as precise as specific radionuclide analysis after radiochemical separations. Maximum beta energies of approximately 0,1 MeV or higher are well measured. It is possible that low energy beta emitters cannot be detected (e.g. 3H, 55Fe, 241Pu) or can only be partially detected (e.g. 14C, 35S, 63Ni, 210Pb, 228Ra). If the presence of low-energy beta emitters is strongly suspected, liquid scintillation analysis is recommended (ISO 11704). The method described in this document applies to non-volatile radionuclides, since some gaseous or volatile radionuclides (e.g. radon and radioiodine) can be lost during the source preparation. The method described in this document is applicable to test samples of drinking water, rainwater, sea water, surface and ground water as well as cooling water, industrial water, domestic and industrial wastewater after proper sampling, sample handling and test sample preparation (filtration when necessary and taking into account the amount of dissolved material in the water). The method described in this document can be used in the event of an emergency situation, because the results can be obtained in less than 1 h. Detection limits reached for gross alpha and gross beta are less than 10 Bq·l-1 and 20 Bq·l-1, respectively, for instance for rainwater water. The evaporation of a 10 ml sample can be carried out in 20 min followed by 10 min counting using a gas-flow -proportional counter with window. It is the laboratory’s responsibility to ensure the suitability of this test method for the water samples tested.
