Experimental data presented in this paper have their origin in the fir
st Romanian investigations in connection with the helium content in mi
neral and geothermal water sources. The high radon presence in the ema
nated gases from the water sources is a reliable indication of high he
lium content, The work also presents measurements in connection with t
he indoor radon content and the radon exhalation from soil in some reg
ions from Transylvania, An attempt has been made to correlate the rado
n flux data with the indoor radon concentrations. Copyright (C) 1996 E
