Indoor and soil radon measurements in the Hyblean Foreland (South-East Sicily)
Annals of Geophysics, 2007 Indoor radon behavior in two sites of SE Sicily was studied as a function of the soil radon concentration. The chosen locations were Ragusa and Modica towns, placed in the Hyblean Plateau (northern margin of the African Plate).
