Description 58-64
The spatial and temporal variations of radon concentration and meteorological parameters were measured in and around
the Kuvempu University campus, situated in the Western Ghats of Shankaraghatta forest environment is measured by active
technique using Scintillation cell and the meteorological parameters measured using Automatic Weather System (AWS.
The activity concentration of radium in soil is determined by Gamma-ray spectrometer with NaI (Tl) detector. The measured
data of the present study shows that the built-up environment and forest ecosystem have enhanced the natural radiation
level. The variation of atmospheric radon concentration is depends on meteorological parameters, geographical and
geophysical parameters. The diurnal variation shows the maximum concentrations were noticed in the early morning and
minimum during afternoon. The seasonal variation shows maximum concentration during winter season and minimum
during the summer season. These variations were mainly depending on meteorological parameters. The correlation between
the radon concentration and the meteorological are discussed and presented in this paper. The present study was aimed to
establish a base-line data of Annual effective dose equivalent (AED). The diurnal, seasonal variations in different
environmental conditions were discussed and presented in this paper.
