21 Conclusions Indoor 222 Rn and 220 Rn concentrations in the cavern depend on the distance from the cave entrance and from the temperature gradient between outside and inside air (changing throughout the year and addressing air flux direction whitin the cave) Shallow underground caverns supply extra 222 Rn to the soil gas sampled some metres on top. This supplementary fraction may enhance radon accumulation in indoor environments placed above, increasing the risk for inhabitants. Soil 220 Rn concentration on top of the cave is affected by low indoor thoron content inside the cave and is directly proportional to the rock thickness above the cave roof.

22 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thanks for surveys of rock tickness above the cave to: Annamaria Gerardino Riccardo Paolucci Marco Placidi Silvio Valenti Sotterranei di Roma Speleo-Archeo Research Center
