British Geological Survey
@bgs.ac.uk
A world-leading independent research organisation providing objective, expert geoscientific data, information and knowledge 🌎
We used long-term radon measurements, made in over 560,000 homes across Great Britain and 23,000 homes across Northern Ireland (without affecting householders’ confidentiality), combined with geological map data.

Indicative Atlas of Radon - British Geological Survey
Radon is a natural radioactive gas, which enters buildings from the ground. Exposure to high concentrations increases the risk of lung cancer.

This includes coverage for approximately 99 per cent of the bedrock and approximately 95 per cent of the superficial deposits across the country.
These geological maps provide crucial information like rock types and faults, forming a valuable resource for a wide range of uses.

It was great to see the integrated mining and processing site, and the visit showcased the importance of responsible supply chains and best practices — including the rehabilitated tailings storage facility 1, which has been restored to native forest.

Nickel is a critical component for the global energy transition, being a core ingredient in battery technologies and demand is expected to double by 2040. The Philippines, hosts significant laterite deposits and is the world’s second-largest producer of nickel.
