Abstract
A program for investigating recognizable variations in soil-gas radon content associated with earthquake activity, is presently being carrie d out by the Radiation Protection and Safety Centre in Algeria. A netw ork of radon measuring stations has been implanted along seismic fault s in northern Algeria. A 4 year span of monthly readings of radon conc entrations using solid state nuclear track detectors has been accumula ted. The field results obtained in terms of temporal variations of rad on concentrations have been compared with the meteorological and seism ic data of the region.
