Exploiting IoT-Oriented Technologies for Measurement Networks of Environmental Radiation

Radiological threat (i.e., the risk associated with radioactive isotopes) is usually associated with military and civil applications involving either radioactive weapons or other radiological dispersal devices (e.g., deposits in soil or water, nuclear plants and so on) [1]. In recent years, some authors evidenced that limited quantities of radioactive materials can cause heavy damages and losses if they are ingested or inhaled [2], thus providing criminal terrorists with alternative strategies for their attacks based on radioactive water sprays, as an example.
