Abstract
The “Rough sets” method has been applied to earthquake prediction using the gas geochemistry. The field of application concerns the Mons basin (Belgium) with various geological environment, a geothermal system and a rather low seismic activity in 1987 two seismic sequences with events of magnitude upper than 1,5–2 have been recorded. A data base includes the radon concentrations in soils for eight points of measurement in different geological environments, with different climatological parameters and seismic activity. The “Rough sets” method has allowed to discriminate the sites with a particular sensitivity to a seismic event.
