Radon mapping in south Tyrol: comparison between two different procedures

Radiat Prot Dosimetry. 2004;111(4):439-43. doi: 10.1093/rpd/nch070.

Abstract

In this paper two different procedures for radon mapping have been compared on the same database referring to indoor radon records of South Tyrol. The first procedure is based on descriptive statistics applied to administrative units while the second one implies a more complicated statistical analysis applied to a regular grid: it involves floor level normalization of radon data, filling and smoothing algorithms for the territory cells.
