Scope: What is ISO 13161 about? ISO 13161 discusses water quality. ISO 13161 is one of a family of International Standards on test methods dealing with the measurement of the activity concentration of radionuclides in water samples. ISO 13161 specifies a method for the measurement of 210Po in all types of waters by alpha spectrometry. Polonium is  a radioactive, silvery-grey or black metallic element of the oxygen group that is toxic to human beings even in small doses. The method for measuring polonium is applicable to test samples of supply/drinking water, rainwater, surface and groundwater, marine water, as well as cooling water, industrial water, domestic, and industrial wastewater. Filtration of the test sample can be required. <...
