Classification

Sodium Chloride spring

A radon-bearing 'simple weakly radioactive' spring — a small but real dose of Rn places it in the hormesis tradition. Alkaline at pH 9.34, the water has the slippery beauty-water touch despite a light overall mineralization of just 0.242 g/kg. Radon registers at roughly 220 Bq/kg (16.4 Mache units), well above the threshold for a radioactive spring; the source emerges hot at 43 °C.
