The radon concentration levels in soil samples from 39 locations of Northern Punjab are measured using AlphaGUARD (PQ 2000 PRO Model) of Genitron instruments, Germany. The radon concentration in soil varies from 0.3 to 35.8 kBq/l. The minimum value of radon is observed in Talwandi Choudhrian and is maximum for Nushera Dhala. The soil gas radon is correlated with soil temperature, pressure, and humidity to observe the effect of these parameters on radon release. The soil gas radon values in the study area are compared with that obtained in groundwater. The results are also compared with the available radon data for other parts of Punjab and Himachal Pradesh.
使用德国 Genitron 仪器的 AlphaGUARD(PQ 2000 PRO 型)测量了旁遮普邦北部 39 个地点的土壤样本中的氡浓度。土壤中的氡浓度从 0.3 到 35.8 kBq/l 不等。在塔尔万迪·乔杜里安观察到氡的最小值,在努舍拉·达拉观察到最大值。对土壤气体氡与土壤温度、压力和湿度进行相关分析,以观察这些参数对氡释放的影响。研究区的土壤气体氡值与地下水中获得的值进行了比较。结果还与旁遮普邦和喜马偕尔邦其他地区的现有氡数据进行了比较。
