| Abstract: | Presence of high levels of Radon (222Rn) gas was reported from groundwater in Bangalore. To ascertain the ground reality and the nature of the hazards, if any,
a study was conducted by the Central Ground Water Board, Bangalore in and around Bangalore city. Groundwater samples from
borewells and a dug well were collected and analysed. Available data on Radon gas from both groundwater and surface water
sources were also compared. The presence of Radon gas and its concentration in groundwater were examined with respect to geology
and well depths. The results are discussed in the paper. |
