Title: | Radon, water chemistry and pollution check by volatile organic compounds in springs around Popocatepetl volcano, Mexico | Issue Date: | 2005 | Series/Report no.: | 1/48 (2005) | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/2122/883 | Keywords: | soil radon water chemistry volcanic activity |
Subject Classification: | 04. Solid Earth::04.08. Volcanology::04.08.99. General or miscellaneous | Abstract: | Popocatepetl volcano is a high-risk active volcano in Central Mexico where the highest population density in the country is settled. Radon in the soil and groundwater together with water chemistry from samples of nearby springs were analysed as a function of the 2002-2003 volcanic activity. The measurements of soil radon indicated fluctuations related to both the meteorological and sporadic explosive events. Groundwater radon showed essential differences in concentration due to the specific characteristics of the studied springs. Water chemistry showed also stability along the monitoring period. No anthropogenic pollution from Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) was observed. An overview of the soil radon behaviour as a function of the volcanic activity in the period 1994-2002 is also discussed. |
