چکیده

According to the recommendations of the ICRP and the German Commission on Radiological Protection, areas should be identified where increased radon concentrations in buildings occur more frequently than on the country-wide average. Such regions are characterized by an increased radon potential of the building ground. The highest indoor concentrations were measured in old houses of granitic ground and in mining regions.
