Spatial and temporal variations of radon concentrations in groundwater of hard rock aquifers in Madurai district, India

Radon (222Rn) and other radionuclides in groundwater can lead to health problems if present in higher concentrations. A study was carried out in Madurai district of Tamilnadu by collecting groundwater samples for four different seasons and aims to identify the regions with higher 222Rn concentration...
