The exchange of radon gas concentration along Manisa fault

Rocks and soils form the main radon source, a radioactive noble gas. For this reason, radon is the most useful and studied natural gas, providing information about the earth's movement. Faulting and fracturing also play an important role in transporting radon. In this study, radon gas concentra...

Description
Summary:Rocks and soils form the main radon source, a radioactive noble gas. For this reason, radon is the most useful and studied natural gas, providing information about the earth's movement. Faulting and fracturing also play an important role in transporting radon. In this study, radon gas concentrations along the Manisa fault and at stations perpendicular to the fault were monitored monthly for two years using LR-115 type 2 radon detectors. The results showed that radon levels were higher at sites near the fault than at sites farther away.
