The plastic detectors used in this survey were LR-115 type II.The levels of Radon measured in Babil are ranging from 5 Bq m-3 to 35 Bq m-3 compared with that in Karbala city 14 Bq m-3 [4], as well as in Sweden 100 Bq m-3 [6] and Finland 70 Bq m -3. The variation of radon concentration with height of the floor is also discussed. | ||
