Abstract: The goal of this study is to use anomalies in the exhalation of radon (222Rn) from the floor of a building, as a way to predict the appearance of an earthquake days or hours before it happens. The methodology used is based on the study of the change of radon exhalation using an airtight container placed on the floor of the interior of a building continuously measuring the radon concentration inside with a Radon Scout monitor. These measurements were made in the Radiological Safety Bunker of the Nuclear Power Plant of Huarangal, Lima, Peru.
