Urine, hair and nail samples were collected from a population of both sex aged from 40 to 87 years in Niška Banja (227 km
south of Belgrade, Serbia) with a high level of natural radioactivity (HLNRA). To assess and monitor the public exposure,
urine samples for each subject (24 h period) were collected and concentration of uranium (U) was analysed using alphaparticle
spectrometry. Human hair and nails considered as bio-indicators of the public exposure to radionuclides over a long
period of months or even years and concentration of U was determined using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry.
The mean concentrations of U in urine, hair and nail were 123 ng/L, 17 ng/g and 8 ng/g, respectively. There was a large variation
and may be due to geological origin.
