title: Measurement of the equilibrium factor for 222Rn progeny in Bangladesh dwellings.
abstract: Time-integrated solid-state nuclear track detectors were employed for the measurement of radon concentration and potential alpha-energy exposure level. From these values, the equilibrium factor F between radon and its progeny was estimated for each house. An average value of 0.40 was obtained. The experimentally and theoretically determined F values were compared.
