Sažetak
Radon variations between municipalities were significant at 95% confidence level. According to measured concentrations, the municipalities were grouped into two groups. The variation due to lithostratigraphy was also significant, but the groups were not formed. These result indicates that the influence of geology in the investigated region is uniform and that variations are relate to the buildings characteristics. The significance of the basement factor confirms the relation between indoor radon and geogenic radon potential. The radon concentrations in stone buildings are higher than those made of bricks. Considering that this factor has the highest contribution in radon variations we assume that stone despite geogenic radon is the additional source of indoor radon. Although expected, but in our case, type of windows does not affect the variations of radon, as well as type of room, altitude and the total number of floors.
