07 Jun All that was attributed was the so called medicinal value of spring water was couched on radon as that was one among out of the ordinary
This months jour geol soc ind carried a paper by Najeeb et al on the radon content in gw samples of Tumkur dist in Karnataka. The levels were far above the 5 bq per lit prescription by us EPA.
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.
