| Özet |
| Indoor radon concentration levels were measured in Ardahan, Eastern Black sea region of Turkey using SSNTD type nuclear track detector (CR-39). Radon measurements were done for 4 seasons in 48 dwellings, selected as uniformly distributed as possible. The radon concentrations vary from 53 Bq m{sup -}3 to 736 Bq m{sup -}3 with the annual mean concentration of 173 Bq m{sup -}3 for Ardahan. Seasonal variation indoor radon shows high in winter low values in summer. The resulting estimated annual effective dose-equivalent due to inhalation of radon for inhabitants is 4.36 mSv y{sup -}1 and the total annual effective dose lies in the range of the action level (3-10 mSv y{sup -}1) recommended by the ICRP. The results were compared with other indoor radon concentration results in different part of Turkey and the world. |
