Water galleries are one of the main systems for capturing groundwater on the western islands of the Canary Islands (Spain). Water galleries are approximately 2-m high × 2-m wide excavated, sub-horizontal drains. This research focuses on taking measurements of radon, a natural radioactive gas present in volcanic territories, such as the Canary Islands, which may cause health problems for workers inside water galleries. The aim of the research is to evaluate radon gas activity as a natural risk in a selected group of water galleries of Tenerife by means of officially approved radon passive detector devices. It was observed that in all the galleries studied, the radon gas concentration values were exceeded by a wide margin, which makes it a factor to be monitored in gallery workers, due to the proven association between radon inhalation and lung cancer.

在特内里费岛，加那利群岛（西班牙）的水廊测量氡

水廊是加那利群岛（西班牙）西部岛屿上捕获地下水的主要系统之一。水廊是大约 2 米高 × 2 米宽的挖掘的亚水平排水沟。这项研究的重点是对氡进行测量，氡是一种存在于加那利群岛等火山地区的天然放射性气体，可能会对水道内的工人造成健康问题。研究的目的是通过正式批准的氡被动探测器设备评估氡气活动作为特内里费岛选定的一组水廊中的自然风险。据观察，在所有研究的画廊中，氡气浓度值都大大超过，这使其成为画廊工作人员监控的一个因素，
