Abstract

This study has checked ²²²Rn concentrations in groundwater from 27 sites of Haridwar and Dehradun, Uttarakhand, using the Durridge RAD-7. Seasonal variability reveals that the activity of radon is at its peak during the monsoon. Among the samples, 96.29% exceeded the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Maximum Contaminant Level for radon during monsoon. The results indicated significant correlations between the concentration of radon and some factors like electrical conductivity and pH. The objective is to compare seasonal radon levels in groundwater, identify significant variations, and assess potential health risks by evaluating them against established safety guidelines.

北阿坎德邦德拉敦和哈里瓦尔地区地下水中氡浓度的季节变化

本研究使用Durridge RAD-7检查了北阿坎德邦哈里瓦尔和德拉敦27个地点地下水中的222Rn浓度。季节变化表明，氡的活动在季风期间达到高峰。其中，96.29%的样本超过了美国环境保护署在季风期间氡的最高污染物水平。结果表明，氡浓度与电导率和ph等因素之间存在显著相关性。目的是比较地下水中的季节性氡水平，确定显著变化，并根据既定的安全准则对其进行评价，从而评估潜在的健康风险。
