Abstract
Spark counter has been designed and realized and the optimum applied voltage was found to be 600V. Excellent consistent agreements was observed between counted number of tracks by spark counter and reading by optical microscope. Radon concentration in some houses in Sana" a and Hodeidah cities in Yemen had been performed using LR-115SSNTD and spark counter system. The average radon concentration in both cities was far lower the alert value. The results showed that radon concentration in the metropolitan area Sana" a was higher than in Hodeidah city. Also, it was observed that old residential houses had higher levels of radon concentrations have compared to newly built houses in the metropolitan area Sana' a.
