Abstract:
This study was carried out to find out the distribution
of radon (222Rn) activity concentration measured
in the groundwater samples from the East coast of West
Bengal, India. The 222Rn activity in 20 groundwater samples
were measured using Durridge RAD-7and the values
of 222Rn were found between 1.9 ± 0.78 and 9.0 ±
1.13 Bq L-1 with average of 5.0 ± 0.83 Bq L-1. These are
well within the EPA’s maximum contaminant level of
11.1 Bq L-1.
