Abstract
Radon (
Rn) exposure in the environment is an important issue, and many pathways exist for radon exposure to humans. One of these pathways is
Rn release through the consumption of natural gas. The issues of
Rn concentration measurement techniques and worldwide concentration distribution were reviewed in natural gas, with emphasis on performing an active method to determine
Rn concentration in LPG and CNG gases used in Cyprus. The obtained results were compared with
Rn concentration in natural gas worldwide and UNSCEAR reports. The average
Rn concentration value in LPG gas was observed higher than CNG gas. Also, the
Rn concentration in LPG and CNG gases was less than the UNSCEAR reported value.
