Abstract
Radon risk assessment involves analysis of point radon measuring based on analysis of existing documents. All spatial information comes from various geographical sources. All information was used for digital processing — documents on radon measurements, topographic, geological and tectonic map etc. Data sources were used for creating digital layers as background for modelling within GIS. The ESRI products were selected to be the main software platform for whole modelling. The modelling accepted basic theoretical assumption that measured values of radon is impacted mainly by three factors — geological-tectonic conditions (rocks and failures), hydrological conditions (content and volume of water, transmissivity) and building material. The model is calibrated and applied in the Prerov District (see Figure 1”). The final digital layer of radon risk represents spatial distribution of radon risk in the district.
