Natural radionuclides are present in mineral water as a result of geochemical processes that
influence its final composition. The quality of mineral water varies and, apart from the natural disasters
such as droughts and floods, it is also affected by industrial activities. The aim of our investigation is
to determine the activity concentrations of 40K, 238U, 226Ra and 232Th in mineral waters available at the
Serbian market. Nine samples of carbonated mineral water and five samples of non-carbonated natural
spring water, collected during 2016, are analyses by standard gamma spectrometry. The maximum 40K
specific activity measured in the samples is 3.6 Bq/l, while the 238U, 226Ra and 232Th specific activities
are below minimal detectable activity. These results show that according to the national regulations,
all samples are radiologically safe for human consumption.
