Radon 222Rn in deep borehole water in the Warsaw's district has been quantitative determined. The measurements were performed using the alpha liquid scintillation counting method. The measurements results were compared to the 222Rn concentration limit in drinking water approved in other countries. In some cases the concentrations of 222Rn in investigated water samples exceed 11 Bq/l. The annual radiation dose equivalent received by the people consuming every day such water in Warsaw in about 0.014 mSv (1.4 mrem).
