Study of soil gas radon concentration is carried out in different oil exploration areas of Aizawl district, Mizoram, India. Three oil exploration areas namely, Phulmawi(PM), Maubuang(MB) and Keifang(KF) are studied. The study was conducted with RnDuo machine devised to survey Radon 222 (222Rn) fitted with a soil probe of 120cm long. The radon soil gas concentration was studied at four different depths like 10cm, 30cm, 50cm and 70cm. For each location, an in-situ measurement of soil gas concentration was carried out at three different spots to cover the entire areas. The minimum value of radon concentration is observed at KF-2 spots at 10cm depth; whereas a maximum concentration is observed at MB-2 spot at 70cm depth. The radon concentration in soil gas ranges from 0.10 kBq/m3 to 1.60 kBq/m3 within the study areas. It has been observed that there is no significant rise in the concentration of Radon gas within these areas as compared to studies conducted at different parts of India. The study further concludes that the radon gas concentration obtained in these locations is below the worldwide average.
