摘要

Radon exposure can cause significant health risks to humans, hence nationwide surveys of indoor radon in Indonesia were conducted in 2013–2021. The research aims to estimate average indoor radon activity concentrations, investigates the radon prone area, and create indoor radon distribution map of Indonesia. The survey uses systematic random sampling covering 3838 dwellings in Indonesia. The measurement utilizes passive radon-thoron discriminative detectors installed in the dwellings with 3 to 4 months duration. The indoor radon activity concentration had an average of 55.8 ± 30.1 Bq m−3. Mamuju, Tual, and Biak have been classified as radon prone areas.
