Radon-222 as an indicator for nonaqueous phase liquids in the saturated zone : developing a detection technology

Creator:

Hopkins, Omar Snowden

Abstract:

Radon-222 gas has unique properties allowing it to be used as an indicator for the presence of organic phase liquids in the saturated zone. It naturally occurs in soils. It is radioactive, making quantitative detection straight forward. A noble gas, it is chemically inert and does not react with aquifer...
