Indoor and soil radon measurements in the Hyblean Foreland (South-East Sicily)

Indoor and soil radon measurements in the Hyblean Foreland (South-East Sicily)

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 de...
