Title: Occurrence of natural radium-226 radioactivity in ground water of Sarasota County, Florida
Description: The report shows the relationship between specific conductance and radium-226 in 3 hydrologic zones in Sarasota County, Florida, The control of the radium-226 radioactivities in water and specific conductance are postulated. The senior author later verified the ion-exchange control in Miller, R. L., Kraemer, T. F., and McPherson, B. F., 1990, Radium and radon in Charlotte Harbor Estuary, Florida: Estuarine, Coastal, and Shelf Science, v. 31, no. 4, p. 439-457.
