Cities are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) due to high density of urbanization, numerous industrial centers and intensive agricultural activities. These anthropogenic GHG sources overlap to the sources of methane related to peat degradation or pockets of methane that characterize the outermost, NE-verging fronts of the Northern Apennines in Italy. This study focused on atmosphere and soil methane gas measurements close by an area with high density of abandoned wells used for the methane extraction back in 1962 in a small town of Italy. Radon gas was measured as well, simultaneously with the instruments for methane and oxygen gases, at 10 cm and 1 m depth into the soil. Measurements have been taken for radon concentrations with a Durridge RAD7 Company, Inc., USA instrument. Instead, three Biogas ETG (Etg Risorse e Tecnologia, Italy) instruments were used for atmosphere and soil gas measurements, with new low-cost technology, nondispersive infrared sensor (NDIR) CH₄ gas sensor and O₂ gas sensor. Moreover, chemical and physical properties of soil and water were checked at each location monitored. At a depth of 1 m below the ground surface, the maximum soil radon gas concentration was found to be around 1770 ±±582 Bq/m³, with soil consisted of 64.31% sand, 20.75% silt and 14.94% clay, and 0.526 ppm of Uranium. The maximum concentration of methane was found to be 0.06%, at a depth of 1 m into the soil characterized by 83% sand, 8.96% silt and 7.89% clay. The methane gas measurement survey presented generally values on the range of 0.01% to 0.03% into the soil and no significant relationship existed between methane and oxygen concentrations.
