Abstract

Soil radon gas measurements were made via a sensing system embedded in soil at radon monitoring station, whichwas established in Sivrice Fault Zone of Eastern Anatolia Fault Systems (DAFS) being one of the active faultsystem of Turkey. The occurrence times and magnitude of earthquakes at this zone were compared with the radongas diffusion obtained online from the mentioned station and the results were interpreted in the light of data in theliterature. In this study, it was seen that there is a relationship between the changes in soil radon gas emission andearthquakes. Additionally, according to the analyses on graphs which present the changes in soil radon gasemission taken from station and earthquake lists taken from AFAD (Republic of Turkey Prime Ministry Disasterand Emergency Management Presidency), it was seen that almost all of the earthquakes occur in a decreasingperiod following the increase in radon emission.

Özet

Toprak radon gazı ölçümleri, Türkiye'nin aktif fay sistemlerinden biri olan Doğu Anadolu Fay Sistemleri (DAFS)'nin Sivrice Fay Zonunda kurulan radon izleme istasyonunda toprağa gömülü bir algılama sistemi ile yapılmıştır. Bu bölgedeki depremlerin meydana gelme süreleri ve büyüklükleri, söz konusu istasyondan çevrimiçi olarak elde edilen radon gazı difüzyonu ile karşılaştırılmış ve sonuçlar literatürdeki veriler ışığında yorumlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, toprak radon gazı emisyonundaki değişiklikler ile depremler arasında bir ilişki olduğu görülmüştür. AFAD'dan temin edilen deprem listelerine ve istasyondan alınan toprak radon gazı çıkışlarındaki değişim grafiklerine bakıldığında yapılan analizlerde, radon yayılımındaki artışı izleyen dönemdeki radon yayılımının azalmaya başladığı dönemlerde; depremlerin neredeyse bütününün meydana geldiği görülmüştür.
