The Region of Sardinia has identified 162 municipalities as priority areas for radon monitoring, in accordance with Legislative Decree No. 101/2020. This classification was officially published in the Official Gazette on October 14, 2022, and is based on studies that highlight higher concentrations of the gas in certain areas.
The identified municipalities are mainly located in regions with specific geological characteristics, such as granitic or volcanic soils, which favor the release of radon in enclosed environments. Monitoring and mitigation activities in these areas are essential to reduce public health risks and ensure safe working environments.
