Azman Arip, . and Yusoff Mohd. Amin, . and Azmah Ali, . (1995) Soil radon exhalation rate as an indicator of soil stability. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
Radon is a radioactive rare gas produced in the soil. One of the factors that influenced its exhalation from the soil into atmosphere is the water content in the soil. The changes in the soil water content is normally caused by rainfall. This paper reports on a study on the variation of soil radon exhalation rate rainfall. It was found that at low rainfall the exhalation rate decreased. Therefore a decreasing radon exhalation rate with increasing rainfall could be used as a warning against impending landslide.
