Description
The results of weekly radon concentration measurements in an office environment using a novel envelope-type radon monitor for short-term exposure periods are presented. The commercially available LR-115 damage track detectors are used and the chemically etched sheets are spark counted. The measurements were made over a period of one year. The indoor radon concentration varies from ∼ 20 Bq.m-3 to ∼ 300 Bq.m-3 with the average of 130, 81 and 73 Bq.m-3 for three different rooms resulting in the annual dose of 4.5, 2.8 and 2.5 mSv, respectively.
