| Abstract | The online measurements of radon in flowing water with high temporal resolution and a lower limit of detection of some Bq/l is of growing interest in environmental research and earth sciences. Promising new fields of application in hydrogeology are the study of exchange and mixing processes and the monitoring of pumping procedures before and during groundwater sampling. A suitable, simple method has been proposed by Surbeck based on the separation of air and water by a diffusion membrane. Process parameters influencing the temporal resolution as well as the radon detection efficiency have been studied. Considering these results a new instrument has been developed enabling online radon-in-water measurement with time resolution of about one minute. |
