ResumoThe first systematic indoor radon measurements on the Montenegrin Coast were carried out in the period 2002–2003, when 107 randomly selected homes in urban settlements were surveyed using CR-39 track-etch detectors, twice a year, each time for about 6 months. None of the measured radon concentrations exceeded the action level of 400Bqm-3. The annual average radon concentrations were found to be lognormally distributed (GM=25.5Bqm-3, GSD=2.1) within the range from 3 to 202Bqm-3, with arithmetic mean of 31.8Bqm-3, and median of 25.1Bqm-3. The average effective dose due to exposure to radon in urban homes on the Montenegrin Coast is estimated to be 0.50mSvy-1.
