Subject of this study is an investigation of the
variations of indoor radon concentration and ambient dose
equivalent rate in outdoor and indoor environments of 40
dwellings, 31 elementary schools and five kindergartens.
The buildings are located in three municipalities of two,
geologically different, areas of the Republic of Macedonia.
Indoor radon concentrations were measured by nuclear
track detectors, deployed in the most occupied room of the
building, between June 2013 and May 2014. During the
deploying campaign, indoor and outdoor ambient dose
equivalent rates were measured simultaneously at the same
location. It appeared that the measured values varied from
22 to 990 Bq/m3 for indoor radon concentrations, from 50
to 195 nSv/h for outdoor ambient dose equivalent rates,
and from 38 to 184 nSv/h for indoor ambient dose
equivalent rates. The geometric mean value of indoor to
outdoor ambient dose equivalent rates was found to be
0.88, i.e. the outdoor ambient dose equivalent rates were on
average higher than the indoor ambient dose equivalent
rates. All measured can reasonably well be described by
log-normal distributions. A detailed statistical analysis of
factors which influence the measured quantities is reported
