Abstract

The radon concentration in groundwater is due to amount of uranium existing in rocks and geological structures. Radon concentration in 33 groundwater samples from agricultural and drinking wells surrounding Anar fault have measured by RAD7 radon detector. The measured values ranged from 1.33 +/- 0.48 to 29.91 +/- 3.64 Bq L-1. The results show radon concentration varies by distance from main fault and main stream in which the effect of main fault is more than main stream.
