ABSTRACT

To assess radon dispersion in Ciudanovita – Bradisor – Maidan mining area, we have used the AUSPLUME software, that is based on a Gaussian plume dispersion model, which mathematical basis derives from the Victorian Environment Protection Authority’s “Plume Calculation Procedure”. It is designed to predict ground level concentration or dry deposition of pollutants emitted from the one or more sources, which may be stacks, area sources, volume sources, or any combination of these. A case study is presented in this paper regarding the dispersion of radon gas from the Uranium mining area of Banat, Romania.
