Abstract:	The radiation dose due to inhalation of radon, thoron and their progenies constitute a major part (50 %) of the total natural background dose received by a man. Thus measurement of indoor radon in dwellings is very important. In the present study, radon, thoron and their decay product measurements were carried out using passive detector systems, namely the pinholes dosimeters and Direct Radon (Thoron) progeny sensors. These measurements were carried out in indoor environments (different dwelling types) during January–April 2013 for 90 days, in the Gogi region. The time-averaged mean radon, thoron and decay product concentrations were found to be within the permissible UNSCEAR limits. © 2014, Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, Hungary.
