摘要：
In this study, five different methods for determining the geogenic radon potential are compared in the Mochovce region, Slovakia. Based on these methods, maps of radon potential were made and localities with suspected elevated indoor radon levels were identified. Subsequently, indoor radon concentrations measurements were performed there. Based on the measurements in six municipalities, an approximately linear relationship was found between the values of geogenic radon potential and indoor radon concentrations. These results confirm the usability of radon potential maps as valuable tools for characterizing radon-prone areas.
