ResumoGross-α and gross-β activity, 222Rn, 226Ra and 224Ra of waters from several spas of Andalusia (Spain) were performed in order to determine their radioactivity. Radon concentration ranged from 0.225 to 130 Bq/l. 226Ra and 224Ra concentrations ranged from 2 to 1367 mBq/l and from 2 to 122 mBq/l respectively. Correlations between the 222Rn and 226Ra concentrations and gross-α activity were obtained. A correlation between 224Ra concentrations and gross-β activity was also found.
