The concentrations of radon and radon daughters in Syrian homes were s
tudied since 1994 (Othman et al., 1996). In this work too,the relation
ship between the parameters of some houses in Damascus city and radon
together with radon daughters concentration were studied. These houses
were classified into three types depending mainly on the house design
. The radon concentration measurements were carried out in different p
laces inside these houses using solid state nuclear track detectors. I
n addition a gamma survey meter was used to determine gamma dose rates
inside the studied houses and they were compared with radon concentra
tions. Scintillation technique was used to monitor the variation of ra
don and radon daughter concentrations during the day inside one type o
f houses. The correlation between radon concentrations and age of hous
es in Damascus city was also checked in this study.
