In this study we measured radon (222 Rn) concentrations in offices at the Meşelik campus of Eskişehir Osmangazi University to estimate the effective dose of 222 Rn and its progeny for office occupants. The measurements were performed four times in 2011 over a period of 3 months using solid state nuclear track detectors (LR-115). A total of 381 LR-115 detectors were installed in 110 different offices, choosing three offices on each floor in the same building. 222 Rn concentrations obtained in the first, second, third, and fourth measurement periods were 163 (73) Bq m −3 , 105 (53) Bq m −3 , 77 (43) Bq m −3 , and 164 (70) Bq m −3 respectively. The 222 Rn concentrations and seasonal 222 Rn variations in the offices were similar to those found in dwellings in Eskişehir. The total annual effective dose was estimated to be 3.398 mSv y −1 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
