摘      要：Radon is a unique natural element because it is an inert gas and at the same time radioactive in all of its isotopes. It is known fact that exposure of the population to high concentrations of radon gas, leads to irradiation of primarily respiratory organs, which can cause lung cancer. For reliable prospecting of radon activity concentration in the living environment, the first input parameter is the concentration of outdoor radon in the air. This paper presents the results of a three-year research of radon activity concentration in the air of Bosnia and Herzegovina. At the measurement locations were registered daily and seasonal variations of the outdoor radon concentrations, whose average values were in the range of 15-38 Bq/m3. They were measured with Alpha GUARD PQ 2000 radon portable measuring system (Genitron Instruments - Frankfurt).
