Sažetak
Radon activity concentrations in the air were measured with LR-115 nuclear track detectors at three locations in Osijek. The respective equilibrium factors and the effective dose equivalents were determined. Indoor concentrations were from 9.8 to 58.2 Bq/m^3 and relative errors of the track etching method were near 19 percent. The indoor alpha potential energy of the radon and thoron progenies was measured with an ISD detector. Independent measurements, performed with Radhome semiconductor detector, showed that the indoor thoron concentration was nearly 20 percent of the radon one.
