A geochemical approach to the identification of a radon-affected area

The identification of a radon-affected area in the south of Yugoslavia was based on geologicalstructuraland geochemical prospecting data of radioactive and other mineral resources. An anomalousarea was recognized at a rural community Gornja Stubla (in the extreme south of Serbia), whileprospecting for uranium in the region on the margin of the large Vardar Zone geotectonic unit.
