The Standard Radiological test includes analysis for uranium, gross alpha & beta and radon. Uranium is a naturally occurring element that is considered mildly radioactive. Uranium is present in most soils at a couple of parts per million, but can be much higher in certain rock formations. Uranium is known to cause problems with kidney toxicity and potentially some forms of cancer. Gross alpha particles emit radiation due to unstable atoms and include isotopes such as uranium 238, radium 226, radon 222 and thorium 232. Gross beta particles are subatomic particles emitted from radioactive atoms. Some beta emitters include tritium, cobalt-60, strontium-90 and radium 228. Running a gross alpha and beta test will give you a general idea of the level of radioactivity and can be less expensive than running tests for the individual isotopes which contribute to radiation. Radon is a gas that can accumulate in groundwater. It is a health concern because it can be released into the air and when inhaled is known to cause lung cancer.
