Content of radioactive elements is low:
Rn-3.7 Bq/l, Ra-0.17 Bq/l, U-0.0016 mg/l
[9].
Based on the review of the basic characteristics
of mineral waters in the region
of Šumadija-Kopaonik-Kosovo area,
thermo mineral waters of Banjska have
the following chemical composition formula
[11].
The Institute for Rehabilitation, Belgrade
has made the detailed investigations
of thermo-mineral waters of Banjska for
all four springs ( spring 1- inflow to the
pool; spring 2 - water near Monastery St.
Sava; spring 3 – water from the yard of
R.Milosavljevic; spring 4 – water from the
court yard of U. Radosavljevic) and noted
the characteristics, given in Table 1.[12].
