“…The P-oil sample (Table 1) was collected in 2011 from an oil seep in the Pechelbronn oil field (Upper Rhine Graben, France). Petroleum was sourced from the marine Liassic source-rock and trapped in Tertiary sandstones (Person and Garven, 1992;Michel-le Pierres et al, 2010). P-oil, of medium density, contains about 5% of asphaltenes.…”

“…In Europe, for example, approximately 10% of lung cancers are linked to radon (McColl et al 2015). 46 47 Radon is a radioactive gas which forms as a decay product of radium (Ra) generated in the radioactive 48 decay series of uranium (U) and thorium (Th).…”

16A rapid method for local-scale radon risk assessment using in-situ radon soil-gas measurements and a 17 national-scale soil permeability dataset have been evaluated. We test and validate our approach in a 18 case study at the Cooley Peninsula (County Louth, Ireland). In total 60 radon soil-gas measurements 19 from 48 points were carried out in an area of approximately 160 km 2 over a five day period. Results of 20 radon potential classification are compared with the legislative indoor radon map of Ireland, with 21 more than 400 indoor radon measurements in the study area. 22 23 Soil-gas radon concentrations in the Cooley Peninsula ranged from very low values (< 10 kBq m -3 ) to 24 extremely high (up to 112 kBq m -3 ), whereas indoor radon concentrations ranged from 3 to 863 Bq m -25 3 . The Cooley Peninsula is therefore mostly classified as a Moderate-High and High radon potential 26 area. The percentage of indoor radon variance explained by soil-gas radon concentration, soil 27 permeability and geology is approximately 30% (12%, 9.3% and 8.6%; respectively). 28 29Our findings show that radon potential classification can detect radon priority areas with a reasonable 30 degree of accuracy, even with a relatively low number of point measurements in relation to the size 31 of the area studied. We demonstrate that active radon measurements and geostatistical modelling 32 can significantly reduce the time and cost required to evaluate an area in relation to expected indoor 33 radon concentrations. This approach is viable to produce a radon potential map in rural areas, or 34 2 where land-use has been re-designated for new housing, where few or no indoor radon 35 measurements are available. 36 37

“…Recently, investigations on natural analogues have proliferated to assess the relationship between CO 2 and 222 Rn (radon) and 220 Rn (thoron) isotopes since CO 2 (as well as CH 4 ) commonly acts as the carrier gas for radon. Therefore, radon can be transported for relatively greater distances with respect to what would be expected by considering the short half-lives of its iso- topes and only taking into account the diffusive effects (Elío et al, 2015;Etiope and Martinelli, 2002;Etiope et al, 2005;Giammanco et al, 2007;Voltattorni et al, 2009;Michel-lepierres et al, 2010).…”
