Abstract
Meskun binalarda radyoaktif bozunmaya uğrayan radon gazı, teneffüs
edildiğinde akciğer dokusunda hasara ve zaman içerisinde de akciğer kanserine
sebep olabilmektedir. Edirne’de değişik semtlerde 54 evde oturma odası ve yatak
odasında radon gazı radyoaktivite konsantrasyonları ölçülmüştür. Bu çalışmada,
ev-içi radon konsantrasyonlarının tespitinde pasif nükleer iz dedektörleri (CR-39)
kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre, Edirne’deki evlerde radon
konsantrasyonları 2 Bq/m3 ile 125 Bq/m3 arasında değişim
göstermiştir. Evlerin radon aktivite ortalaması ise 27.58 Bq/m3
olarak bulunmuştur. Bu çalışmada radon gazına maruziyet sonucunda alınan yıllık
etkin eşdeğer doz 0.728 mSv olarak tespit edilmiştir. Ölçülen radon seviyesi ve
yıllık efektif dozun tavsiye edilen limitler içerisinde kaldığı belirlenmiştir.
Ev içinde solunan radondan dolayı yıllık etkin doz eşdeğeri ve akciğer kanseri
olma riski hesaplanmış ve sonuçlar tartışılmıştır.

Abstract
When radon gas and its decay products is inhaled in
residential buildings, it can damage the lung tissue and cause lung cancer over
time. At different parts of Edirne city, for 54 houses, radioactivity
concentrations of radon gas have been measured at living room and bedroom. In
this present work, indoor radon concentrations were measured by using passive
nuclear track detectors (CR-39). According to the results of the study, it was concluded
that the concentration of radon is 2-125 Bq/m3. It was understood
that the concentration of average radon obtained was 27.58 Bq/m3. In
this study, as a result of exposure to radon gas from the annual effective dose
equivalent was obtained to be 0.728 mSv. Measuring radon levels and annual
effective doses were determined to be within recommended limits. Corresponding
annual effective doses and risk probability for lung cancer due to the indoor
radon inhalation were calculated and the results were discussed.
