Abstract
In this study, the activity concentrations of radon gas C(222Rn) in the water of Jale and Mersaid springs were measured by using an HPGe spectrometer. The average C(222Rn) in the main Mersaid spring (T≈ 33 °C) and Jale warm outlet (T≈ 36 °C) was 24.10 ± 0.50 and 30.11 ± 0.67 Bq L−1, respectively. In the left cold outlet (T≈ 25 °C) and right cold outlet (T≈ 24 °C) of Jale spring, the average C(222Rn) was about 21.04 ± 0.52 and 19.04 ± 0.55 Bq L−1, respectively. The C(222Rn)/C(226Ra) ratio was 100. Results showed that a substantial amount of 222Rn might have been lost as water flowed to the surface.
