Reports

In the reports all the issues given at the field work should be elaborated.

1. Air Quality

Smog alert should be investigated, what is the measured values, what are the time intervalls that 1 point represent, what are the local protocols to set a smog alert

2. Water Sampling

Main question: what are the possible ways for the radon to be lost, and not counted in the vial at the laboratory. How large can be the radon loss due to different processes. The radioactive decay is not a radon loss, because it can properly be corrected. The aim is the evaluate the different sampling strategies for the less loss.

3. Soil sampling + noise measurement

The noise measurements should answer the question „what is an optimal way to determine the noise level”, or what is the source of the noise, or what is the effect of the shielding buildings or other objects around.

The second question to be evaluate is the elemental composition of the soil that was sampled. i) What are the elements in it, ii) what can be their mineral environment, iii) what kind of evironmental process can be responsible for being those elements here in the soil. iv) are there any heavy metal pollution in the soil?

In the first page of the report, the names of contributors should be listed.

Always the uncertainties should be estimated and discussed, always the visual and table representation of the results are very important, thinking also to the significant digits, as well.

Always suggested: surf the web for background and additional information and include it to the report, make comparisions and go more deep scientifically.
