本文概述了可用于去除饮用水中氡的处理技术，并讨论了实施这些技术所涉及的问题。本文所讨论的工作正在发展成为AWWA研究基金会发起的一项研究项目的一部分，该基金会题为“饮用水氡去除系统的临界评估”。本项目的主要目的是为水务公司制定实用指南，用于评估和选择最佳现场氡处理技术；并初步测试一种有前途的创新氡去除技术的可行性。该项目报告将介绍现有和新兴氡去除技术的最新进展。

This paper presents an overview of the treatment technologies available to remove radon from drinking water supplies and a discussion of issues involved in implementing these technologies. The work discussed in this paper is being developed as part of a research project sponsored by the AWWA Research Foundation entitled "Critical Assessment of Radon Removal Systems for Drinking Water Supplies." The primary purposes of this project are to develop a practical guide for water utilities to use for evaluating and selecting the best site-specific radon treatment technologies; and to pilot test the feasibility of a promising innovative radon removal technology. The project report will present the state-of-the-art for existing and emerging radon removal technologies.
