Radon and radium measurements were made with collector chamber method. The radon concentrations range from 3.0 to 13.3 Bq/l, whereas the radium varies from 0.35 to 1.71 Bq/l. It has been observed that radon levels increase in winter and decrease in summer. The 222Rn/226Ra ratio was found to range from 4.91 to 30.53. Physico-chemical properties of water samples were also analysed. Water samples have considerably stable total dissolved solids values, slight acidity, low electrical conductivity, and temperature (42–48 °C). © 2015, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.en10.1007/s12665-015-4701-3info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBayındırGeothermal watersRadiumRadonArticle74969436949Q2
