Summary
Measurements of 222Rn and 220Rn activity were carried out along the Pınarbaşı segment of the İzmir Fault (IF) to get new information on this fault and its seismicity. 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. This study also discusses the usability of the 222Rn/220Rn ratio as a geodynamic precursor.
