Radioactive Radon Gas in Ground Water in Songkhla Lake Basin
- 1. Depart. of Physics, Fac. of Science, Prince of Songkhla Univ., Songkhla(Thailand)
Description
The technique to investigate radon concentration in water, using film C R-39 to detect alpha particle that emitted from radon gas and diffused through the water in close system, has been established. After etching process, alpha tracks were counted under optical microscope. The track density of the film gives the radon concentration level in water. From the calibration curve, the radon concentration is given by the formula. Radon concentration (Bq/m3) = Track density / 0.088137 Testing 271 samples of ground water around Songkhla Lake Basin by this method show that the average of radon concentration is 11,955 ± 24,483 (Bq/m3). The minimum radon concentration is 756 ± 25 (Bq/m3) found at Amphoe Bangkaeo, Changwat Phattalung, and the maximum concentration is 244,552 ± 464 (Bq/m3) found at Amphoe Namom, Changwat Songkhla
