Геохимические особенности радиоактивных элементов в солевых отложениях питьевых вод Северного Казахстана

Abstract

Radioactive elements research in the scale of drinking water is relevant at the present time. Uranium is of particular interest to the public because of its complex behavior in the natural water system. The paper presents the results of studies of salt deposits of drinking water in Northern Kazakhstan, obtained by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) at the Problem Research Laboratory of Hydrogeochemistry of Tomsk Polytechnic University. Based on the results of the analysis, the statistical parameters of the distribution of thorium and uranium in the scale of drinking water in the territory of Northern Kazakhstan were calculated. Comparative data of uranium and thorium are presented both between Akmola and North Kazakhstan regions, and with other regions of Russia.
