英文摘要	Water in arid and semi-arid environments is characterized by the presentation of complex interactions, where dissolved chemical species in high concentrations have negative effects on the water quality. Radon is present in areas with a high uranium and radium content, and it is the main contributor of the annual effective dose received by humans. The objective of this study was to evaluate concentrations of Rn-222 and the water quality of spring waters. Water was classified as calcium sulfated and sodium sulfated. Most of the water samples with high radon concentrations presented higher concentrations of sulfates, fluorides, and total dissolved solids. Rn-222 concentrations may be attributed to possible enhancement of Ra-226 due to temperature and salinity of water, as well as evaporation rate. In 100% of the sampled spring waters the Rn-222 levels exceeded the maximum acceptable limit which is proposed by international institutions. Aridity increases radiological risk related to Rn-222 dose because spring waters are the main supply source for local populations. The implementation of environmental education, strategies, and technologies to remove the contaminants from the water are essential in order to reduce the health risk for local inhabitants.
