Popis:	In this paper, we report the results of seasonal variations of indoor radon and thoron concentrations, equilibrium factors for gas progeny, and radiological risks to dwellers in the hilly area of Guwahati City, Assam, India. Twin-cup dosemeters with LR-115 (II) nuclear track detectors were used in this study. The findings show that values vary significantly, with winter having the highest values and summer having the lowest, with spring and autumn having moderate values. In winter, radon concentrations range from 61.6 ± 11.2 Bq m
