Abstract: Abstract This paper is focused on developing statistical models to analyze the connection between radon emissions and earthquakes. Owing to our personal interest and the large amount of local data available in the period before and after the main shock, we decided to run our analysis on the recent earthquake which affected the Italian city of L’Aquila. We investigated the viability of a statistical method employing radon emissions to predict earthquakes. The results show a possible connection between radon and earthquake, but it is useless, in our opinion, to use this connection to forecast the magnitude of the seismic events.
