Abstract
⺠We performed measurements of radon from soil carried out on Mt. Etna. ⺠The sampled zone is characterized by the presence of numerous active faults. ⺠Radon mapping reveal dangerous hidden faults buried by recent soil cover. ⺠Our study gives some hints on the source of gas and on fault dynamics. ⺠We recognized areas where radon activity represents a hazard to the population.
