“…The primary health risks associated with 222 Rn arise from internal exposure, primarily through inhalation. Once inhaled, 222 Rn and its decay products ( 218 Po, 214 Po) can reach bronchiolar cells, where emitted alpha particles may induce DNA damage, potentially leading to carcinogenesis [2][3][4][5][6]. The World Health Organization (WHO) acknowledged radon gas as the second leading cause of lung cancer following tobacco smoking in 2009 [7].…”

“…The results are meant to be used for metrology purposes and cross-disciplinary applications, including geoecology [4] and urban healthcare (civil to industrial purposes [5], including underground parking facilities). Additionally, radon migration is a very complex issue, as depicted in the work of Gilmore et al [6].…”

Common practice analysis of environmental samples is usually performed by assuming radon and its decay products from the U-Ra natural radioactive series are uniformly spread within the entire sample volume. This uniform distribution is an assumption that we intended to test using a volume sample. The results show that the actual distribution is not uniform and, consequently, needs to be treated as such for both measurement purposes and related simulations. Immediate applications include cross-disciplinary activities such as environmental studies, metrology applications and health (radiation hazards).

“…Soil radon emanation represents a remarkably important phenomenon for multidisciplinary Earth science studies (see Gillmore et al [2010] and Perrier et al [2012] for a review). The World Health Organization (WHO, http://www.who.int/en/) and International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC, http://www.…”

Long term continuous radon monitoring in a seismically active area

We present the results of a long term, continuous radon monitoring experiment started in April 2010 in a seismically active area, affected during the 2010-2013 data acquisition time window by an intense micro seismic activity and by several small seismic events. We employed both correlation and cross-correlation analyses in order to investigate possible relationship existing between the collected radon data, seismic events and meteorological parameters. Our results do not support the feasibility of a robust one-to-one association between the small magnitude earthquakes characterizing the local seismic activity and single radon measurement anomalies, but evidence significant correlation patterns between the spatio-temporal variations of seismic moment release and soil radon emanations, the latter being anyway dominantly modulated by meteorological parameters variations.
