Owing to its exceptional radiotoxicity 226Ra in drinking water may directly affect human health. Its presence was investigated in several categories of drinking water in Croatia: well water, tap water from several municipal water supply systems and bottled mineral water. The method of 226Ra determination was alpha-spectrometric measurement after radiochemical separation. The 226Ra content in all investigated categories of waters are below the legislative level permissible for human health.
