Evidence for terrigenic SF6 in groundwater from basaltic aquifers, Jeju Island, Korea: Implications for groundwater dating

January 1, 2007

Measurements of the concentrations of dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-12), tritium (³H), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆) in groundwater from basaltic aquifers in Jeju Island, Korea, demonstrate a terrigenic source of SF₆. Using a lumped-parameter dispersion model, groundwater was identified as young water (
