Chapter 1Physical, Chemical and Nuclear Properties of Radon: An Introduction

Baskaran, Mark

Pages: 1 –14

[Radon is the heaviest of all noble gases and has a total of 36 isotopes ranging from 193Rn to 228Rn all of which are radioactive. Over a large portion of the past 115 years since its first discovery in 1900, radon has been widely studied including for its impact on human health. The three...

Chapter 2Radon Measurement Techniques

Baskaran, Mark

Pages: 15 –35

[The specific activities of 222Rn in environmental samples (atmospheric and soil air, surface and groundwater, etc) can vary over 5 orders of magnitude and hence the methods and instruments to measure radon activities vary widely. The measurement techniques are classified based three...
LitStream

Chapter 3Mechanisms of Radon Emanation and Long-Term Radon Flux Studies

Baskaran, Mark

Pages: 37 –62

[The temporal and spatial variations in the release rates of radon from earth materials in to air and water have been widely recognized for several decades. One of the most important factors that affect the radon concentration in indoor (note that indoor air radon concentrations have direct...

Chapter 4Radon: A Tracer for Atmospheric Studies

Baskaran, Mark

Pages: 63 –83

[Radon is an ideal atmospheric tracer due its mean-life, which is long compared to turbulent timescales, but short enough to constrain 222Rn activities in the free troposphere; the mean-life is comparable to the transit time of air masses across major continents, but much shorter compared to the...

Chapter 5Applications of Radon Progeny in Atmospheric Studies

Baskaran, Mark

Pages: 85 –117

[The distribution of 222Rn and its progeny (mainly 210Pb, 210Bi and 210Po) have provided a wealth of information over the past five decades as tracers to quantify several atmospheric processes that include: i) source tracking and transport time scales of air masses; ii) the stability and vertical...

Chapter 6Radon: A Geochemical and Geophysical Tracer in Marine System

Baskaran, Mark

Pages: 119 –144

[The observed disequilibrium between 222Rn and 226Ra in aqueous system is one of the most widely used and successful applications of U-Th-series radionuclides. The observed radon concentration gradients at key interfaces such as sediment-water and air-water have been widely utilized for the past...

Chapter 7Progeny of Radon (210Pb) as a Tracer and Chronometer in Continents and Aqueous Systems

Baskaran, Mark

Pages: 145 –166

[One of the most widely used progeny of radon is 210Pb, which is utilized both as a chronometer and tracer. Diffusion of radon out of the Earth’s surface results in horizontal redistribution of 210Pb produced from the decay of atmospheric 222Rn, which eventually leads to higher activities of...

Chapter 8Radon in Groundwater System

Baskaran, Mark

Pages: 167 –188

[The daughter products of 238U, 235U and 232Th have been utilized as tracers in groundwater systems primarily due to strong relative fractionation between a daughter and its immediate parent (generally). Of all the parent and daughter products in the U-Th series, 222Rn activity concentration is...
LitStream

Chapter 9Radon: A Tracer for Geochemical Exploration

Baskaran, Mark

Pages: 189 –204

[Radon can be detected at extremely low levels of activity (e.g. one pico Curie) in air and water which provides the basis for a very sensitive geochemical exploration tool. Translation of the common observations on the spatial and temporal variability of radon activities in soil air and...
LitStream

Chapter 10Radon as a Tracer for Earthquake Studies

Baskaran, Mark

Pages: 205 –228

[Radon is one of the most widely used tracers as a precursor for earthquake prediction studies due to its unique chemical properties (no adsorption, dissolution or precipitation). Its transport in subsurface environment is primarily controlled by radioactive decay, diffusion and advection....
