| Abstract: | This paper reports the measurement of radon concentration in well water at the site of Jalpaiguri (26°32′N, 88°46′E) near
the active fault zone of West Bengal, India. Radon concentration has been measured in well water with the help of solid-state
nuclear track detectors (SSNTD). The study indicates a positive correlation between radon anomaly and earthquake. The data
of radon content in well water have been compared with that in soil gas at the same site. |
