摘要：
This study integrates residential radon data from previous studies in Southern California (USA), into a geographic information system (GIS) linked with statistical techniques. A difference (p < 0.05) is found in the indoor radon in residences grouped by radon-potential zones. Using a novel Monte Carlo approach, we found that the mean distance from elevated-radon residences (concentration > 74 Bq m(-3)) to epicenters of large (> 4 Richter) earthquakes was smaller (p < 0.0001) than the average residence-to-epicenter distance, suggesting an association between the elevated indoor-radon and seismic activities.
