• Location of monitoring station at Jabiru town

Almost all the radon measured at Jabiru is natural background radon. Higher concentrations are expected in the dry season due to dry soil allowing greater permeation of radon into the atmosphere, although changes in this trend may occur due to weather conditions inhibiting effective mixing of air.
