Abstract

An electroscope and technique for measuring the radon content of soil gas are described. Measurements were made to answer several questions regarding the radon content of soil gas. It was found that there is no systematic increase of radon content with depth of penetration into a soil, that soil formations appear to have more or less characteristic radon contents, that high radon content of a soil gas is not necessarily an indication of the presence of a fault, and vice versa; and finally it is found that there is great local variation of radon content of soil gases.
