Abstract
Dose assessment to inhalation exposure of indoor {sup 222}Rn daughters in 12 residential areas in Korea has been performed by long term averaged radon concentrations measured with passive CR-39 radon cups. A simple mathematical lung dosimetry model based on the ICRP-30 was derived to estimate the indoor radon daughters exposure. The long term average indoor {sup 222}Rn concentrations and corresponding equilibrium equivalent radon concentrations (EEC{sub Rn}) in 12 areas showed a range of 33.82 {approx} 61.42 Bq.m{sup -3} (median : 48.90 Bq.m{sup -3}) and of 13.53 {approx} 24.57 Bq.m{sup -3} (median: 19.55 Bq.m{sup -3}), respectively. Reference dose conversion functions for evaluation of regional lung dose and effective dose equivalent for unit exposure to EEC{sub Rn} have been derived for an adult. The effective dose equivalent conversion factor was estimated to be 1.07 x 10{sup -5} mSv/Bq.h.m{sup -3} and this conversion factor agreed well with that recommended by the ICRP and UNSCEAR report. The annual average dose equivalents(H) to Tracheo-Bronchial and Pulmonary region of the lung, and total lung from exposure to measured EEC{sub Rn} were estimated to be 17.52 mSv.y{sup -l}, 3.35 mSv.y{sup -l} and 20.90 mSv.y{sup -1}, respectively, and the resulting effective dose equivalent(H{sub E}) was estimated to be
