Determination of airborne Radon and its relationship with the type of residential buildings in Damghan, Iran

Inhalation of radon gas and its decay products is the first natural source of human exposure to radioactive radiation. Due to its health effects, the World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended guidelines (100 Bq/m 3 ) for indoor environments. The aim of this study was to determine the radon con...

Zusammenfassung:	Inhalation of radon gas and its decay products is the first natural source of human exposure to radioactive radiation. Due to its health effects, the World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended guidelines (100 Bq/m 3 ) for indoor environments. The aim of this study was to determine the radon concentration according to the characteristics of residential buildings. Detectors CR-39 were used to determine the radon concentration over a period of three months. Radon concentrations were different in villa buildings, apartment floors, and basements and depended on building materials, age, and ventilation.
