Determinations of radioactivity by measuring the radon content in a number of Yugoslav mineral waters have shown that their radioactivity depends on the geologic age of the sediments through which they are flowing. Those waters which issue from Carboniferous or Cretaceous strata show a distinctly higher radioactivity due to a higher content of uranium in those sediments. Part of the content in radioactive substances of the waters is deposited in sinters that sometimes accumulate around the springs. In those deposits uranium is, as a rule, not in radioactive equilibrium with its daughter elements. Particularly in cases of calcareous sinters and ochres there are generally more ionium and radium present than would correspond to the radioactive equilibrium. Only deposits from waters containing hydrogen sulphide contain mainly uranium. Water that passes through such sinters shows a greater radioactivity than the original water. The highest factor of enrichment (7.27) was found in the thermal water of Viokegrad.
