Statement

Derivation of radon potential data for Northern Ireland was carried out by the BGS, working in collaboration with the GSNI and the PHE. Finalisation of the data set by BGS was carried out using funding from the BGS Derived Products programme of the Information Products science area and Geochemical Hazards under Hazard Products programme of the Environmental Modelling science area.
