Abstract

Introduction: Exposure to INDOOR RADON increases the risk of lung cancer. This study examined the level of INDOOR RADON in dwellings of Khorramabad city, by using passive alpha-track detector (CR-39) during winter of 2016.Materials and Methods: In the present study, we detected the concentration of INDOOR RADON in 56 dwellings. A passive sampling instrument (alpha-track detector with CR-39 polycarbonate films) was utilized to measure INDOOR RADON gas concentration. The distribution map of INDOOR RADON concentration was prepared using Arc GIS software.Results: RADON concentration in the dwellings varied from 1.08 to 196.78 Bq/m3, with a mean value of 43.43±40.37 Bq/m3. The average annual effective dose received by the residents of the studied area was estimated to be 1.09 mSv. Our results showed a significant difference between the average RADON concentrations in houses and apartments, with a higher level in houses.Conclusion: INDOOR RADON concentration in 10.1% of the dwellings was determined to be higher than the limit (100 Bq/m3) recommended by the World Health Organization.
