Abstract
The paper aims to make available a wide set of experimental results deriving
from a 30-months measurement campaigns (1999-2001) on going in Central and
Southern Italy, capable of detecting the indoor radon concentration levels in
some 1000 buildings. The research is supported by LIFE, Calabria Regional
Authority, Italian Ministry of University and Scientific Research and several
Builders Association. The methodology is based on the use of high quality
portable ionisation chambers, having an error less than 5% and a certified
calibrat
