Abstract


Yearly average radon concentrations have not been reported yet in Qatar. Only few measurements on indoor radon concentrations have been conducted during the autumn season in 1992. To complete these measurements a determination of radon concentration in some houses of various locations has been carried out over a whole year using charcoal canisters. Results show that the mean indoor radon concentration in some dwellings of Doha city varies from 11 to 23 Bq/m3and led to the conclusion that the radon concentration in Doha is relatively low, not to be shared in a serious environmental radiation problem.
