Hot water springs and bore wells/hand-pumps were investigated to quantify radon and uranium levels in Rajouri area of the Pir Panjal. Scintillation-based radon monitor was employed for radon-222 detection while as LED Flourimetric technique was used to detect uranium-238 concentration. The radon-222 levels, found in the study area, are much higher than the limits prescribed by regulatory agencies like United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). Some of the samples exceeded the allowed limits of 100 Bq L−1 set by World Health Organisation while none of the samples lied within the prescribed level of 11 Bq L−1 prescribe by USEPA.
