Abstract

Abstract A survey of absorbed dose rate and indoor radon concentration in multistorey houses was carried out. The main source of radon in such houses is construction materials. There is a relationship between absorbed dose rate and indoor radon concentration. This relationship is rather complicated and different for different premises. It depends on the geometry of premises and other characteristics which influence the distribution of indoor radon daughters. Increment of absorbed dose rate per unit of increment of indoor radon concentration depends on the concentration of indoor radon, floor where premises are situated, geometry of premises. The results of this study might help to assess the dose due to indoor radon which originates from construction materials.
