wAbstract
@The relationship of soil gas radon Rn222 and indoor
radon was studied within the Quaternary fluvial sediments of the
Czech Republic. The processing of data selection from the radon
database of the Czech Geological Survey and indoor radon data
(database of the National Radiation Protection institute) has
proved the concentration dependence of radon in Quaternary fluvial
sediments on deeper bedrock. The ArcGIS processing was accompanied
by the field verification in five profiles, intersecting the granitoid
Central Bohemian Plutonic Complex and its rim rock types. Both
theoretical and experimental results show dependence of soil gas
radon and indoor radon concentrations in Quaternary fluvial sediments
on deeper geological basement, thus leading to the conclusion
that the lateral transport of Quaternary sediments does not play
such a dominant role in radon concentrations, as was thought previously.
This fact will enable to determine precisely the radon index of
Quaternary sediments (in the Czech radon mapping classified as
an intermediate index) into three categories according to the
lithology of their geological basement.
