摘要: Abstract The present work offers a methodology to correlate the earthquake time, magnitude and location based on behavior of radon concentration. By correlating tectonic events behavior, previously published data, concentration signals can be taken into consideration in decision making. Three correlations between magnitude, time epicenter distance are presented. applicability any one them depends measurement technique. Moreover, suggested procedure is presented determine possible confusion for anomalies originating from failure those arising nuclear activities. method change observed 219Rn 222Rn daughters ratios.
