ABSTRACT: Indoor radon concentration measurements were performed in dwellings of Ischia island (South Italy) using commercial E-Perm devices in LST configuration. The average concentrations in the dwellings were found to vary from 125 to 865 Bq/m3 with an average of 354 ± 176 Bq/m3. This value is higher than Italian National average that is 75 Bq/m3 and Campanian average that is 95 Bq/m3. Correlation between indoor radon concentration measurements and floor level of monitored room was also studied.
