Soil radon and meteo timeseries from the Italian Radon mOnitoring Network (IRON) 2009-2021

We share long term, continuous measurements of soil radon emanations in Italy acquired from 2009 to 2021 by the Italian Radon mOnitoring Network (IRON). The radon concentrations were measured at 62 stations and consist of 621720 single measurements. Employed detectors are both in-house prototypes (LUCAS) and commercial devices (AER by Algade), suitably calibrated at INGV radionuclide laboratory. In addiction to radon concentration, most stations acquire internal temperature, while a subset of them also record relative humidity. When available, all these data series are provided along with radon timeseries and consist of 1320710 local temperature and humidity data.
The presented dataset allows monitoring variations in radon emissions on multiple time scales, using different analysis techniques. Potential investigations include the effect of environmental parameters/conditions on radon emissions, the study of the impact on such emissions of transient signals like those associated with seismic and volcanic preparation processes and fluid migration dynamics as well as analyses of risk for human health, related to prolonged exposure to radon gas accumulated in confined spaces.

我们共享了由意大利氡监测网络（IRON）于2009年至2021年间在意大利采集的土壤氡析出长期连续监测数据。该数据集涵盖62个监测站点的氡浓度监测结果，共计621720条单次测量数据。本次监测采用的探测器包含自研原型机（LUCAS）与商用设备（Algade公司生产的AER型设备），所有设备均在INGV放射性核素实验室完成校准。除氡浓度外，多数站点同步采集监测设备内部温度，部分站点还会记录相对湿度。若数据可用，所有此类辅助数据将与氡浓度时间序列一并提供，共计1320710条本地温湿度数据。
本数据集支持依托多种分析技术，对多时间尺度下的土壤氡析出变化开展监测。其潜在研究方向包括：环境参数/条件对氡析出的影响；探究地震、火山孕育过程及流体运移动力学等瞬态信号对氡析出的作用；以及针对密闭空间中累积氡气长期暴露所引发的人体健康风险进行分析。
