Abstract

The paper deals with the recent survey of indoor radon (Rn) results in schools, where paired CR-39
detectors were simultaneously exposed to different long-term periods, i.e., one detector was exposed during
the whole year and the other one in the period of the school year duration. To be able to compare the results
obtained, for its analysis, the relative bias and U tests were used. It was found that there are no systematic differences between the results, which points that the exposure of the detector during summer vacations did not
affect the estimated average annual radon concentration. The paired results were modelled by a linear function,
giving an extremely high coeffi cient of determination R2 = 0.99.
