Özet
<p>Soil gas measurements make it possible to work on a small piece of land, eliminating the obstacle to field studies. Therefore, soil gas measurements can provide information about natural processes through gases released from the earth's crust in metropolises with excessive urbanization. For this reason, gases in soil gas can be used to get information such as detecting buried and unidentified faults and predicting earthquakes İzmir Fault is one of the most important active tectonic structures in Turkey's Active Fault Map. Due to very intense urbanization, there is not enough information about the fault. Determination of Soil gas CO2 concentrations and 222Rn and 220Rn activity concentrations were carried out along the Izmir Fault (IF) to get new information on this fault and its activity. This study also discusses the usability of the 222Rn/220Rn ratio together with CO2 anomalies as geodynamic precursors.</p><p><br></p><p>Keywords: Radon, Annual effective dose, Indoor radon, LR-115, SSNTDs, primary schools.</p><p><br></p><p>Acknowledgement: This study is supported by the TÜBİTAK 1001 Scientific and Technological Research Projects Support Program: Earthquake Research Call and by Basic Science Research Program-Project No: 121Y404.</p>
