The radon concentration is ranged from (123.345 Bq/m3) to(328.985 Bq/m3) with an average of (244.19±61.52 Bq/m3). Lung cancer risk ranged from55.993 to 149.346 per million people and with an average of (110.855 per million people)which were lower than the recommended values (170-230 per million people), so there wasno cancer risk on workers in these locations.
