Abstrakt:	In present study, 222Rn, 220Rn and progeny concentrations have been estimated by using passive techniques for radiological protection purpose. The average equilibrium factor for 222Rn has been found to be 0.43, 0.29 and 0.30 for rainy, winter and summer seasons, respectively and 0.06, 0.05 and 0.05 for rainy, winter and summer seasons for 220Rn. The annual equilibrium factor for 222Rn was found quite close to the globally accepted value of 0.40 while for 220Rn it was higher than the globally accepted 0.02. A statistically significant difference was obtained between inhalation dose estimated using global assumed equilibrium factors and calculated equilibrium factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
