“…In a general natural mofette, the only therapeutic factor is mofette gas, which has the following composition: carbon dioxide (80-99 vol%), hydrogen sulfide, positive and negative air ions (2000-15 000 ions/cm 3 ) [2,10]. It has a radioactivity of 0.3 µCi/l, with a safe pharmacological action, without cancer risk.…”

“…It has a radioactivity of 0.3 µCi/l, with a safe pharmacological action, without cancer risk. The radon activity concentration levels in the mofette indoor air range between 548 and 10717 Bq/m3 [2,5]. Mofette therapy at the Hospital of Rehabilitation in Cardiovascular Diseases Covasna is administered collectively in specially designed rooms, which have the shape of a Roman circus.…”

“…Therefore, a more accurate radon risk zonation can be achieved. Thoron studies combined with other geological investigations help to precisely determine the source and the origin of radon in the crust (Néda et al. 2008a,b; Szakács & Néda 2009).…”

“…Dry CO 2 emissions generate mofettes, areas of intense degassing, sometimes used as gas baths for curative purposes. Radon activity can be quite high in mofettes, ranging between 3000 and more than 30 000 Bq m )3 (Neda et al 2008). Mineral water sources are common in the area, generally with high content of CO 2 and dissolved minerals.…”
