Abstract

Background: Radon concentra on was measured in the soil and indoor of Amman and Al-Rusaifa ci es in Jordan during summer season. Materials and Methods: The measurement was performed using me-integrated passive Radon dosimeters, containing a solid state nuclear track plas c detector, commercially known as CR-39. Results: Radon concentra on levels in the soil ranged from 2. 8 ± 1. 2 to 6. 9 ± 1. 5 (kBq/m3) with an average 4. 0 ± 1. 6 (kBq/ m3) in Amman and from and 6. 5± 1. 1 to 22. 4 ± 5. 2 kBq/m3 in Al-Rusaifa with average 14. 2 ± 2. 5 (kBq/m3). The average indoor Radon concentra on in the first floor in Amman was 44. 8± 5. 3 (Bq/m3); while the average concentra on in Al-Rusaifa, in the first floor, was 187± 16. 35 (Bq/m3). In Al-Rusaifa, our results in the ground floor and the first floor were about 11%-26 % higher than the reported values, while this ra o reaches to 56% of the soil. Conclusion: The average indoor Radon concentra on indoor in Al-Rusaifa exceeds the ac on Radon level recommend by WHO (100 Bq/m3). The poten al health impact in this city is considered high. High Radon level in Al-Rusaifa may be due to the phosphate content in its soil. A correla on between the Radon concentra on in the soil and indoor was observed.
