ResumoA radon survey has been carried out of indoor radon concentrations in dwellings located in the town of Metsovo, in north-western Greece. To measure indoor radon concentrations, CR-39 detectors were installed in randomly selected houses and were exposed for about 3 mo, during summer and winter. Gamma spectroscopy measurements of the soil’s radium content also were performed. The indoor radon concentration levels varied from 17.6 to 750.4 Bq m−3, while the radium concentration of soil varied from 4.9 to 97.1 Bq m−3. Seasonal variation of the radon levels and the influence of house features and soil are discussed.
