Indoor radon concentration measurements were carried out in randomly selected 18 dwellings of Yildirim county in Bursa, Turkey using Makrofol-DE Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors. The results of the radon measurements ranged from 13 to 98 Bq m(-3), with as 42 Bq m(-3) average value. The range of annual effective dose was between 0.33 and 2.47 mSv y(-1).
