Measurement of indoor radon concentrations and doses assessment in the area of Tuzla Canton, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

This paper presents the results of an indoor radon concentrations measured at the 15 locations in the area of Tuzla Canton, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Measurements were performed by using the AlphaE device in a continuous period of four to seven days at investigated locations. The results of measurements have shown that the mean values of radon activity concentrations were in the range from 18.38 ± 12.72 to 145.31 ± 52.74 Bq m−3. One of the aims of this study was to assess the health hazard from indoor radon inhalation and therefore the annual effective dose and effective dose equivalent for different age groups were evaluated. The excess lifetime cancer risk was also estimated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
