Abstract

The process of radon migration from the Earth's crust is a complex process and depends on several parameters, such as: soil permeability, radium and uranium concentrations in soil, presence of cracks, variation of temperature and pressure, and other environmental parameters. Radon-priority areas are common defined in two ways, the first is by direct measurement of the radon indoor concentrations, and the other by indirect testing of radon in the soil and geological parameters, all to find a dominant transport of radon to the interior of buildings. In this study a new method for estimation geogenic radon potential was developed. Based on the percentage weight of fine fraction in soil samples and measured radon concentrations in soil, the geogenic radon potential was estimated. The proposed method was applied in two distinguished regions of Serbia with different geological substrate and the obtained results were discussed and compared in this study. Soil gas radon concentrations vary between 5 and 81 kBq/m3 indicating variability in radium and uranium content and soil granulation related to different parent soil lithologies.
