Soil Gas Radon Monitoring in Different Faults and Tatun Volcanic Areas of Northern Taiwan

Soil Gas Radon Monitoring in Different Faults and Tatun Volcanic Areas of Northern Taiwan

In the present study, soil gas radon data retrieved from established continuous monitoring stations in different faults zones have been correlated with the seismic activity in the region under defined criteria.The Nuclear Track technique using the SSNTDs has also been used at some chosen sites in the Shanchiao fault with regard to seismotectonic activity to examine the affectability of the sites. From these sites, a site planning to be chosen for future long duration continuous observance on the premise of its affectability towards the seismotectonic activity inside the region. Integrated radon monitoring in Tatun volcano group(TVG) stations using solid state nuclear track detectors(SSNTD’s) to test and verify the hypothesis proposed in our earlier study has been generated.
