How to Remove Radioactive Iodine-131 from Drinking Water

by on

Use a water softener, carbon filter, reverse osmosis system, and boil the water in a way that blows the radioactive steam out of your environment, By Jeff McMahon – Forbes

  • “The Environmental Protection Agency recommends reverse osmosis water treatment to remove radioactive isotopes that emit beta-particle radiation. But iodine-131, a beta emitter, is typically present in water as a dissolved gas, and reverse osmosis is known to be ineffective at capturing gases. A combination of technologies, however, may remove most or all of the iodine-131 that finds its way into tap water, all available in consumer products for home water treatment.”
