A geostatistical approach for mapping the probability of high radon concentrations in the soil gas

Spatial distribution of soil gas radon concentrations has become an important issue in terms of radiological protection because constitute a serious human health hazard. Geostatistical methods provide us a valuable tool to study spatial structure of radon concentration. The aim of this paper was to explore the spatial structure of soil gas radon concentration within an area in south Italy and mapping the probability of high radon concentrations in the soil gas.
