Rationale
This test method covers the measurement of radon in drinking water in concentrations above 0.04 Bq/L.
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee D19 on Water, this test method was withdrawn in November 2008 in accordance with section 10.5.3.1 of the Regulations Governing ASTM Technical Committees, which requires that standards shall be updated by the end of the eighth year since the last approval date.
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the measurement of radon in drinking water in concentrations above 0.04 Bq/L.
1.2 This test method may be used for absolute measurements by calibrating with a radium-226 standard or for relative measurements by comparing the measurements made with each other.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
