Abstract

The first systematic indoor radon survey in Kosovo and Metohia, Yugoslavia, was performed with passive radon dosimeters of the J. Stefan Institute utilizing CR-39 detector. Some regions, where houses are built from stone with a relatively high uranium concentration (of the order of 10 −5 g g −1), could be classified as radon prone areas (radon concentration around 800 Bq m −3). With the same dosimeter the radon activity concentration was measured in various levels of the Trepča lead and zinc mines. The average radon concentration was found to be relatively low (200–800 Bq m −3) and practically independent of the depth in the mine.
