Abstract

Simultaneous measurements of the222Rn concentration in the outdoor atmosphere of Bratislava and in the soil air over one year period have been made. Daily and seasonal variations of the222Rn concentration in both media were found. Some attributes of these variations as well as methods of measurements are presented in this work.
