In this context I wish to bring to the attention that the spring waters of war koala cliff at papnasam, also was screened for radon in the early fifties by a researcher one chemist and was reported in the frame work of a MSc thesis submitted to travancore univ.
Those days there was neither the us EPA nor any safe standard limits set.
