    Abstract Radon-222 is a naturally occurring radioactive gas in the uranium-238 decay series that has traditionally been called, simply, radon. The lung cancer risks associated with the inhalation of radon decay products have been well documented by epidemiological studies on populations of uranium miners.The realization that radon is a public health hazard has raised the need for sampling and analytical guidelines for field personnel. Several sampling and analytical methods are being used to document radon concentrations in ground water and surface water worldwide but no convenient, single set of guidelines is available. Three different sampling and analytical methods-bubbler, liquid scintillation, and field screening-are discussed in this paper. The bubbler and liquid scintillation methods have high accuracy and precision, and small analytical method detection limits of 0.2 and 10 pCi/l (picocuries per liter), respectively. The field screening method generally is used as a qualitative reconnaissance tool.

    Abstract The sources of outdoor and indoor atmospheric radon are examined. The variation of outdoor atmospheric radon with time of day, time of year, altitude and geographic location is quantitatively assessed. Average values of outdoor atmospheric radon concentrations are examined and it is estimated that the mean value for normal areas of the contiguous United States lies in the range of 100-400 pCi/m3 and is probably about 250 pCi/m3. Values for Alaska and Hawaii are an order of magnitude lower. Indoor atmospheric radon concentrations are found to vary with time of day, geographic location and story above ground.

    Abstract Factors potentially correlated with 222Rn concentrations in groundwater were evaluated using a database compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey. These included chemical and radiological factors, and both well depth and discharge rate. The 222Rn concentrations contained within this database were examined as a function of latitude and longitude. It was observed that the U.S. Geological Survey sample locations for 222Rn were not uniformly distributed throughout the state. Hence, additional samples were collected in southeastern Idaho, a region where few 222Rn in water analyses had been performed. 222Rn concentrations in groundwater, in Idaho, were found using ANOVA (alpha = 0.05) to be independent of the chemical, radiological, and well parameters thus far examined. This lack of correlation with other water quality and well parameters is consistent with findings in other geographical locations. It was observed that an inverse relationship between radon concentration and water hardness may exist.

    Abstract Environmental 137Cs contamination was suspected from accidents at spent fuel storage pits of a research reactor site in the Ta-han River valley in Taiwan. In order to further characterize this contamination, soil samples were collected and measured by a gamma-spectroscopy system in 1999. It was found that 137Cs contamination is distributed up to 4 km from the reactor in an area covered mostly by rice and plant fields. 137Cs concentration in the topsoil ranged up to about 1000 Bq kg-1, as compared with soil beyond the contaminated area, which does not exceed 15 Bq kg-1. Spatial distribution of 137Cs was characterized by strong non-uniformity, which complicated our understanding of the distribution pathway of the radionuclides. The highest concentrations of 137Cs, up to more than 1000 Bq kg-1, were found within a few rice fields. The relative location of these rice fields and the water supplies from local streams suggested that the 137Cs was distributed along water pathways in the valley.
