Radon and radioactivity at a town overlying Uranium ores in northern Greece

Characteristics of the atmospheric electric field and correlation with CO2 at a rural site in southern Balkans

“…The assumption that natural radioactivity is a local generator that causes PG reversal is further supported by the fact that the station site overlies granitic deposits and uranium ores (Pergamalis et al 1998;Pergamalis et al 2010) and exhibits some of the highest radon fluxes in Europe. This factor, which has been confirmed by models (López-Coto et al 2013) and recent observations (Kourtidis et al 2015), could be also responsible for increased conductivity close to the ground (Latha 2007). Along with the generally low aerosol concentrations that our site exhibits, as a typical rural site away from heavy pollution sources like industries and major cities such as Athens (Retalis and Retalis 1997), this factor was responsible for a reduced AW mean value of 66.24 V m −1 (Israelsson and Tammet 2001).…”

Study, measurement and mitigation of radon activity concentration in the School of Computer Science of A Coruña in the North West of Spain

“…Its origin lies in the natural radioactive decomposition of uranium, a very active chemical element, capable of associating and moving in combination with others. Radon gas is naturally present in almost every rock on the planet in small proportions (parts per million, ppm), but it varies depending on the type of soil [1,2]. Radon may also be present in water [2][3][4].…”

“…Ομοίως, οι σταθμοί που βρίσκονται σε περιοχές με ραδιενεργά ορυκτά [π.χ. Ξάνθη, (Kourtidis et al, 2015)] πλεονεκτούν στη μελέτη της επίδρασης της φυσικής ραδιενέργειας στο PG.…”
