Measurements of radon gas were carried out on each floor of the four tall concrete buildings. The results show clearly that levels of radon concentration on the higher floors of the buildings were mostly comparable and occasionally were much higher than the ground-floor in contact with the earth. Hence, the findings indicate that the source of indoor radon is not only the surrounding soil but also other sources in the buildings, i.e. most likely radium-containing building materials.
