摘要：

Radon alpha activity concentration has been measured in 28 homes in the Erbil Capital-Iraqi Kurdistan region during the autumn season by using time-integrated passive radon dosimeters containing CR-39 solid state nuclear track detectors "SSNTDs". The radon activity concentrations in these homes range from (10.33-90.34) Bq m(-3) with an average of 44 +/- 23 Bq m(-3). The average absorption effective dose equivalent for a person living in homes for which the investigation were done was found to be 1.3 +/- 0.65 m Sv Y-1, obtained by using an equilibrium factor of 0.5 and an occupancy factor of 0.8. The average lung cancer cases per year per 10(6) person was found to be 23 +/- 12. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
