The article shows that contrasting levels of natural radioactivity in water are characteristic of a number of regions in Ukraine; with maximum values reaching: 1,600 Bq\/L for 222<\/sup>Rn, 4.54 Bq\/L for 226<\/sup>Ra, 0.5 Bq\/L for 228<\/sup>Ra, and 8.1 Bq\/L for the sum of uranium isotopes. The greatest radiation exposure from radionuclides in drinking water is caused by radium isotopes, particularly 228<\/sup>Ra, which has the highest dose coefficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe high natural radioactivity found in drinking water sources in the Zhytomyr, Zaporizhzhia, Kirovohrad, Cherkasy, Kyiv, and other regions of Ukraine is often accompanied by significant mineralization of this water. This requires a detailed study of the sources where this is characteristic and careful attention to each of them. The use of water treatment systems designed to remove chemical contaminants and high mineralization\u2014such as those employing aeration, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, ion-exchange resins, and other methods\u2014is a key element in reducing the concentration of naturally occurring radionuclides in water and, consequently, in reducing the population\u2019s exposure to radiation from these radionuclides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
