Description

The concentration of indoor radon in terms of equilibrium equivalent concentration (EEC) has been measured for dwellings in India, Bangladesh and Nigeria. The data were obtained using the passive time integrated method employing LR-115 (type II) solid state nuclear track detector. The data obtained in the present work are compared with indoor radon levels prescribed by the International Commission on Radiation Protection. (author)
