BGS radon Web service
This web service provides access to the Indicative Atlas of Radon Potential for Great Britain, a dataset produced jointly by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and the British Geological Survey (BGS). Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas found in all buildings, usually at low levels, though concentrations vary depending on underlying geology. The dataset maps radon potential across Great Britain, indicating the likelihood that properties in a given area will exceed reference levels. It is used to identify locations where radon protective measures may be needed in new buildings or where testing of existing properties is advisable.This Web service provides the Indicative Atlas of Radon Potential for Great Britain dataset. Every building contains radon (Rn) but the levels are usually low. The chances of a higher level depend on the type of ground. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and the BGS have published a map showin...
