AbstractAbstract
[en] Our world is radioactive and has been, since it was created. Over 60 radionuclides (radioactive elements) can be found in nature. Radon is naturally occurring radioactive gas, that is produced by the radioactive decay of radium. Breathing high concentration of radon can cause lung cancer. A set of experiments were carried out using Cr-39 as solid state nuclear track detectors with the optimum etching conditions, 6.25 N Na OH at 70oC for 8 hours. The radon-222 activity in this survey was found to be in the range of 0.303 kBq/m3 to 5.04 KBq/m3 for different building materials in Egypt
