| Zusammenfassung |
| Analysis of published data characterising seasonal variability of domestic
radon concentrations in Europe and elsewhere shows significant variability
between different countries and between regions where regional data is
available. Comparison is facilitated by application of the Gini Coefficient
methodology to reported seasonal variation data. Overall, radon-rich
sedimentary strata, particularly high-porosity limestones, exhibit high
seasonal variation, while radon-rich igneous lithologies demonstrate
relatively constant, but somewhat higher, radon concentrations.
High-variability regions include the Pennines and South Downs in England,
Languedoc and Brittany in France, and especially Switzerland.
Low-variability high-radon regions include the granite-rich Cornwall/Devon
peninsula in England, and Auvergne and Ardennes in France, all components
of the Devonian-Carboniferous Hercynian belt. |
