Rn-222 and Rn-220, the immediate decay products of radium isotopes, are causative agents of lung cancer. Rn-222 and Rn-220 concentrations in houses with different floorings, roofs and walls and in different rooms of houses have been measured in Mysore city, Karnataka state, India, using solid-state nuclear track detectors. The radon and thoron concentrations in dwellings with granite floorings are found to be higher compared with other types. A correlation between the indoor radon concentration and dose in air from terrestrial gamma radiation is observed.
