Abstract
radon is a naturally occuring radioactive gas which may be emitted from soils and rocks that contain uranium or thorium. These two elements are the proheniters of radium and radon, and they are found in large amounts in some regions. For instance, the soils in the geothermal regions are important sources of radon. Seferihisar is a geothermal field. The aim in this study, it has been investigated radon anamolies and environmental risk evaluations in the Seferihisar thermal fields. Radon concentrations in soils were continuously measured by the LR-115 nuclear track detectors during a 29-month period. According to obtained results, radon levels were calculated to range from 124 Bq/m3 Bq/m3 to 5890 Bq/m3. In the study, it was determined that the seismic activity in the region would cause an increase in radon measurements.
