As the maps are more practical to interpret the results of radiological survey' he distributions of indoor Rn-222 activities in four most densely populated districts of Izmir were mapped in detail. It is seen that the estimated average radon concentration level (210 Bq m(-3)) determined in Izmir province was almost three times higher than the mean value for Turkey (81 Bq m(-3)). Exposed annual effective dose equivalents for Izmir province were estimated in the range of 0.7 to 2.3 mSy year(-1) with a mean of 5.3 mSv year(-1). In this study, it is pointed out that indoor radon concentration was affected by the age f the building and height above the ground.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessIndoor radonIzmirsolid state nuclear track detectors (SSNTD's)radiological mappingannual effective doseNatural RadioactivityDwellingsAreaArticle10.1080/03067319.2016.11966842-s2.0-84976313896
