摘要: The presence of high indoor radon concentrations, C x , is a major concern the public worldwide. Measurements in South Lebanon have been achieved using CR-39 detectors. values ranged between 30 and 122 Bq m−3 one towns area are compared with measured atmospheric air Radon. Moderate seasonal variation indoors has observed, although 90 % obtained measurements below 100 Bq m−3. Some homes produced readings above permissible limit. Results showed that ventilation effect played factor reducing concentration levels indoors. Health assessment considered. Annual effective doses varied from 1.01 ± 0.10 to 8.65 ± 0.50 mSv a−1 six four cases studied. These dosage permitted limit 2.5 mSv a−1. Several types granite contained studied were identified their contributions calculated.
