“…Solid-state nuclear track detectors (SSNTD) have been extensively used in this regard (Hofmann, 1998;Matiullah et al, 2004;Ahmed et al, 1997aAhmed et al, , b, 1998aKhatibeh et al, 1997;Tufail et al, 1988Tufail et al, , 1992Khan et al, 1991;Rehman et al, 2006a, b). The main objective of this work was to measure the indoor radon levels in some selected areas of North West Frontier Province (NWFP) and federally administered tribal areas (FATA), Pakistan, and to set a baseline data for these areas which would be of great help for radiological database of Pakistan.…”

“…After the exposure, CR-39 detectors were etched in 6 M NaOH at 70°C for 9 h and tracks were counted under an optical microscope. After the background correction, track densities were related to the radon concentrations (Bq m -3 ) using a calibration factor of 0.0092 tracks cm -2 h -1 = 1 Bq m -3 of 222 Rn (Khan et al 1991). Experimental arrangements concerning measurement of radon exhalation are shown in the Fig.…”

“…In Pakistan as well as in the Azad State of Jammu and Kashmir (referred to below as Azad Kashmir), neither publicity campaigns nor radon measurement programs have been initiated nationwide. Limited studies have investigated radon exposure in specific areas of the country (Ahmed, Matiullah, & Khatibeh, 1998; Khan et al, 1991, 1993; Khatibeh et al, 1997; Matiullah, Ahad, Rehman, & Mirza, 2003; Matiullah, Bashir, Yang, & Ahmed, 1993; Quershi et al, 2000; Quershi, Khan, Jafri, Tufali, & Matiullah, 1991; Rahman, Mati, Matiullah, & Ghauri, 2007; Rahman, Matiullah, Mati, & Ghauri, 2007; Rahman, Matiullah, Rahman, Mati, & Ghauri, 2007; Rahman et al, 2006; Rehman, Imtiaz, Faheem, Rehman, & Matiullah, 2006; Rehman, Matiullah, Rehman, & Rahman, 2006; Tufail, Matiullah, Ali et al, 1988; Tufail et al, 1988; Tufail, Matiullah, Ahmed et al, 1992). These studies have identified some of the areas with greater indoor radon concentrations.…”
