摘要：
Rn-222 concentration in almost fifty houses of Islamabad and Rawalpindi has been measured using box type radon dosimeters containing CN-85. The concentration has been measured in various locations of the houses. The geometric mean of radon concentration comes out 29 +/- 14 Bq/m3 for bed rooms, 28 +/- 11 Bq/m3 for sitting rooms, and 33 +/- 16 Bq/m3 for stores. The minimum and maximum value of radon concentration found from all the rooms, is 11 Bq/m3 and 83 Bq/m3, respectively.
