The radon concentrations in soil-gas and water samples (in the form of springs, catchment, tap, thermal) used as drinking water or thermal were measured using a professional radon monitor AlphaGUARD PQ 2000PRO. The measured radon concentrations in water samples ranged from 0.32 to 88.22 Bq l(-1). Most of radon levels in potable water samples are below the maximum contaminant level of 11 Bq l(-1) recommended by the US Environmental Protection Agency. The calculated annual effective doses due to radon intake through water consumption varied from 0.07 to 18.53 µSv y(-1). The radon concentrations in soil gas varied from 295.67 to 70 852.92 Bq m(-3). The radon level in soil gas was found to be higher in the area close to the formation boundary thrust and faults. No correlation was observed between radon concentrations in groundwater and soil gas. Also, no significant correlation was observed between soil-gas radon and temperature, pressure and humidity. The emanation of radon from groundwater and soil gas is controlled by the geological formation and by the tectonic structure of the area.
使用专业的氡监测仪AlphaGUARD PQ 2000PRO测量了用作饮用水或温泉水的土壤气体和水样（泉水、集水区水、自来水、温泉水）中的氡浓度。水样中测得的氡浓度范围为0.32至88.22 Bq l(-1)。大多数饮用水样中的氡水平低于美国环境保护局推荐的11 Bq l(-1)的最大污染物水平。通过饮水摄入氡导致的计算年有效剂量在0.07至18.53 µSv y(-1)之间变化。土壤气体中的氡浓度在295.67至70 852.92 Bq m(-3)之间变化。发现在靠近地层边界逆冲断层的区域土壤气体中的氡水平较高。未观察到地下水中的氡浓度与土壤气体中的氡浓度之间存在相关性。此外，未观察到土壤气体中的氡与温度、压力和湿度之间存在显著相关性。地下水和土壤气体中氡的析出受该地区的地质构造和构造结构控制。
