Abstract

Radon (222Rn) and thoron (220Rn) fluxes were measured in locations in Tasmania and Victoria. Emphasis was on an evaluation of seasonal variability of the fluxes. The work is the first part of a program of mapping radon and thoron fluxes in the island of Tasmania on a scale commensurate with requirements of modelling the behaviour of environmentally important trace gases in a limited area around the Baseline Air Pollution Station at Cape Grim, Tasmania.
