Health risk estimations due to the indoor exposure to natural radionuclides present in natural radioactive gases like radon and thoron the is a cause of concern. The main radiation exposure of the inhabitants of dwellings is due to the two radioactive gases viz. radon and thoron. These gases can accumulate inside the rooms/indoor places of dwellings depending on various parameters like emanation from soil, ventilation, type of dwelling and construction materials, etc. However, the knowledge of concentration of these gases is required to safeguard the dwellers from its health hazardous, if these increases beyond a certain level. In this paper, a study has been conducted in some of the dwellings of the Jind area of Haryana state for the estimation of indoor radon thoron levels. Some 25 dwellings were selected in a uniform manner to cover the whole area of Jind. The found results were assessed on the basis of International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) guidelines.
