Everyday Use
Bottled water is one,if not, the most common way for humans to consume water for everyday use. Drinking water from water fountains in a public building will also contain very low levels of radioactivity.
We drink more water when exercising, talking, and when we are thirsty. The amount of water that each person needs to drink is about a half gallon a day. We are exposed to this small amount of radiation when taking a shower, bath, swimming in a lake or pond, because of the small amounts of radiation in the soil that the water absorbs.
Radionuclides
According to United States EPA , "Most drinking water sources have very low levels of radioactive contaminants, called radionuclides, most of which ae naturally occuring. Most radioactive contanimants are at levels that are low enough to not be considered a public health concern."
"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates radionuclides in drinking water to protect public health. Radionuclides in water at amounts greater than drinking water standards may cause heatlh problems."
