The relationship of the activity ratios (ARs) of U/Th-series nuclides and associated factors (pH, Eh, and the concentrations of Cl-and SO42-) in the hot spring area of Taipei were determined. The contents of U and Th in water decreased with increasing pH. The234U/238U ARs have been ascribed to alpha recoil and selective leaching of234U, while the234U/238U disequilibrium was not significant with regard to the statistical error. Variations of230Th/234U ARs can be attributed to the different chemical properties of230Th and234U. The disequilibrium of226Ra/230Th can be ascribed to the complexation of thorium with Cl-and SO42-, and to the co-precipitation of radium with sulfates. The disequilibrium of228Th/232Th can be due to the co-precipitation of228Ra with (Ba,Pb)SO4and to the migration of228Th from the sediment into the water.
