ENVIRAD-SPLASH is a collaboration among 5 sections that pursue the same objectives to make students of secondary schools aware of the problematic of the radioactivity and of the radiations and to introduce they in a research activity in environmental physics. In many years of activities it allowed to collect interesting environmental data regarding natural radioactivity in schools, homes and public buildings in many italian regions. In the most recent years the interest field become wider, up to regard analysis of soil and mineral samples, dose measurements and alpha and gamma spectra analysis.
A further extension of interest field is the study of artificial radioactivity, given the current renewed interest in nuclear energy and, in 2011, the Fukushima accident.
This activity implied a meaningful influence on the study of ordinary scholastic subjects.
In the ambit of the project a continuous monitor of radon and climatic parameters was developed (Ramona). Some specimens have was installed in the schools. A new upgraded series has been built and actually it is in phase of installation in the Campi Flaegrei caldera, in the framework of a collaboration with the Osservatorio Vesuviano (regional section of the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia) to study the correlation among radon concentrations in soil and other geochemical and geophysical parameters.
A new branch of the experiment started in Naples during the 2012 year, studying a problem posed by the Argo Experiment, carried out in Tibet (YBJ) in the ambit of the activities of the CSN2. The problem was the high rate produced on the detectors of the experiment (many RPC lying directly on ground, by the gamma rays coming from soil. Since the great part of the radiation source in soil are constituted by radon and thoron daughters, and since the quantity of radon and thoron in soil is variable, depending on the gas fluxes coming from deep earth crust, the continuous measurement of Rn activity in soil gas could be useful for estimate the gamma flux producing the noise observed in the data tacking of Argo.
With the aim to build a network of detectors for carrying out such monitoring, 5 Ramona stations have been realized with a grant of the CSN2, which have been installed in the Argo site at the end of December 2012. The monitoring is started and it is very interesting to underline that the radon and thoron trends are very different respect to those observed in the CFc Caldera. The problems deriving from the low atmospheric pressure, typical of the YBJ site (500 - 600 hpa) have been solved by the characterization of Ramona carried out in the calibration facility in our Radioactivity Laboratory.

Also in Catania a collaboration with the INGV has been carried out.
