Abstract

In view of the recent recognition the world over the importance of assessing the levels of radon concentration present in the indoor environments of human dwellings, we have started a programme to measure the indoor radon and daughter concentrations in Indian houses. As a part of the project, we have made measurements of indoor Rn in houses located in the so-called high background areas. The present measurements have given a geometric mean of 9.4 mWL of potential alpha energy exposure level from Rn daughters, which corresponds to an annual effective dose equivalent of 3.1 mSv.
