Introduction: For the first time, the Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom focuses on the risk to human health deriving from exposure to radon in homes, promoting the adoption of more stringent actions for the public awareness about indoor radon risk. Although the directive has not been transposed in Italy yet, some regions e.g. Campania, independently have issued a regional decree (n.13 of 2019) to comply with this lack. Method and results: In this study, the results of a survey on the public's knowledge about the risks associated with exposure to radon collected during two scientific dissemination events “Researchers' Night” (September 2019) and “Futuro Remoto” (November 2019) in Naples, South Italy, are reported.

Abstract
Introduction: For the first time, the Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom focuses on the risk to human health deriving from exposure to radon in homes, promoting the adoption of more stringent actions for the public awareness about indoor radon risk. Although the directive has not been transposed in Italy yet, some regions e.g. Campania, independently have issued a regional decree (n.13 of 2019) to comply with this lack. Method and results: In this study, the results of a survey on the public's knowledge about the risks associated with exposure to radon collected during two scientific dissemination events “Researchers' Night” (September 2019) and “Futuro Remoto” (November 2019) in Naples, South Italy, are reported.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
