Abstract
For the public, indoor radon is the main source of exposure from ioniz ing radiation. Radon gas originates from the radioactive decay chain o f uranium deposited in rocks or in building materials. In the reviews mostly a rather steady radon exhalation has been assumed. In a village of North-East Hungary, however, high radon concentrations have been m easured, differing strongly in neighbouring houses and varying in time , due to the interplay of several geochemical phenomena.
