Radon-222 from the Island of Hawaii: Deep Soils Are More Important than Lava Fields or Volcanoes
Marvin H Wilkening ;
Date:	1 Feb 1974
Journal:	Science, 183 (4123), 413-415
Abstract:	The mean flux of radon-222 atoms from the island of Hawaii is 0.45 atom per square centimeter per second. Lava fields occupy 50 percent of the land area, but their radon flux is only 1 percent of that from deep volcanic soils. The island yields approximately 10 curies of radon-222 per hour to the air surrounding it. The radon-222 contribuition of volcanoes is negligible.
