Title: | Indoor and soil radon measurements in the Hyblean Foreland (South-East Sicily) | Issue Date: | Aug-2007 | Series/Report no.: | 4/50 (2007) | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/2122/3865 | Keywords: | radon uranium indoor air soil gas Hyblean Foreland |
Subject Classification: | 03. Hydrosphere::03.02. Hydrology::03.02.04. Measurements and monitoring | Abstract: | Indoor radon behavior in two sites of SE Sicily was studied as a function of the soil radon concentration. The chosen locations were Ragusa and Modica towns, placed in the Hyblean Plateau (northern margin of the African Plate). Soil samples were analysed by gamma spectrometry to determine the amount of radionuclides. Indoor air and soil gas radon measurements were simultaneously performed in both sites using active detectors. Radon in soil was measured one meter deep. A positive correlation was obtained between indoor radon concentration and the soil gas concentration. |
