Various national and international surveys have demonstrated an increase in radon (Rn) levels, relative to outdoors, in dwellings and consequently there is a continuous growing concern about its health effects on the population. In order to evaluate the effective dose equivalent from the inhalation of Rn and its progeny, we have started a programme to measure the indoor radon and daughter concentrations in houses in Bangladesh. In the present study time integrated solid state nuclear track detectors were employed for the measurement of radon concentration and potential alpha energy exposure level in more than 160 houses of different types. From these values the equilibrium factor (F) between radon and its progeny was estimated for each house. An average value of 0.4 was obtained
