Sažetak
Integrated measurements of radon concentrations in pits and caves on Mt. Velebit and Žumberak region (Croatia) were performed by means of passive track etching method with two LR-115 type II detectors (Kodak-Pathé, France). On Mt. Velebit the highest radon concentration of 1.6 kBq/m3 has been recorded in Velebita pit at the depth of 800 m while on Mt. Žumberak the highest value of 21.8 kBq/m3 was measured in Dolača cave 250 m from the entrance in summer time. There is a significant difference in radon concentrations between those two regions that can partially be attributed to different geomophological, hydrological and microclimatic characteristics.
