Radon emanation from surface water and groundwater samples has been st
udied by using CR-39 and LR-115 solid state nuclear track detectors (S
SNTD). A calibration method for determining the thoron and radon conce
ntrations of the water samples studied has been developed. The effect
of pollution due to coal fly ashes, cement and granite dusts on the ra
don emanation from water samples has been investigated. The influence
of the radon source on the radon emanation rates from water samples ha
s been studied.
