Measurements of radon gas in dwellings of Argentina
The concentration of radon gas in dwellings of several cities of Argentina was measured. For this purpose, different kind of detectors were used such as passive solid state nuclear track detectors, electrets and detectors which use activated charcoal. Since 1983, a total of 1630 dwellings were analysed. The cases monitored were dwellings where the main construction materials are reinforced concrete and brick. The average values found in each city are below 50 Bq/m(sup 3). The values above 200-Bqm(sup 3) are very few, and none of them is above 300 Bq/m(sup 3). The average value of radon gas in air dwellings in our country is 33 Bq/m(sup 3), with a geometric mean of 23 Bq/m(sup 3), corresponding to an annual effective dose of 0.83 mSv.
