Abstract
Few and sporadic measurements are so far available on the characterist ics of indoor radon and thoron daughters in typical Mediterranean area s. For this reason, a pilot study is being carried out in Rome, to stu dy the equilibrium factor F and the influence of ventilation rates in realistic domestic environments. Preliminary data show both a signific ant influence of ventilation on indoor Rn and Tn daughter concentratio n and a non-negligible contribution of Tn daughters to the annual effe ctive dose of inhabitants.
