Abstract
During the summer season, in Shirkatt District and by using time integrated passive radon dosimeters containing (CR-39) plastic radon detectors, indoor radon concentration level and lung cancer risks have been measured in 16 sites. The radon concentration ranged between 50.38 and 212.35 Bq/m3 with an average value 103.98 Bq/m3, which lies within the acceptable radon levels (50-150 Bq/m3) recommended by ICRP. Potential alpha energy concentration was varying from 5.4×10-3 to 22.9×10-3 WLM with average value 17.2×10-3 WLM which corresponds to absorption effective dose equivalent 2.4713 mSvy-1in human, It is observed that this value lies within the recommended levels (3-10 mSvy-1) reported by ICRP. The average lung cancer cases per year per 106person were found to be 44.49, there were no inductions of existence of radon problems in this survey
