Variations in radon concentrations in the underground waters during the generation and occurrence of seismic events in the Baikal region by A. K. Seminsky

“…Grouping by distance from the source to the sampling point relative to the radius of the event’s influence practically coincides with the set of earthquakes by the recording time and the type of recorded responses.Thus, the fluctuations of the emanation field spread over considerable distances from the earthquake generation area with gradual attenuation, and the response recording moment and the type of anomaly that appeared on the graph depend on the power of an impending event, as well as on the distance between the earthquake epicentre and the sampling point. …”
