In the present work, an exertion has been made to assess the indoor 222Rn and 220Rn levels in dwellings of a Roopnagar district of Punjab, India. These estimations have been done in the rainy, winter, autumn and summer season. The average indoor radon concentration is 44 ± 14.08 Bq m−3, 57.40 ± 17.61 Bq m−3, 32.38 ± 12.59 Bq m−3 and 31.38 ± 7.48 Bq m−3 and thoron concentration are 56.91 ± 19.75 Bq m−3, 64.45 ± 23.90 Bq m−3, 45.98 ± 19.38 Bq m−3 and 43.39 ± 10.45 Bq m−3 for rainy, winter, autumn and summer seasons, respectively. The mean value of equilibrium equivalent radon and thoron concentration during the rainy season is 11.25 ± 2.91 Bq m−3 and 0.62 ± 0.14 Bq m−3 and during winter season is 13.36 ± 3.36 Bq m−3 and 0.85 ± 0.34 Bq m−3 respectively. For autumn season these values are 9.58 ± 1.43 Bq m−3 and 0.46 ± 0.11 Bq m−3, respectively. For summer season these values are 12.10 ± 1.57 Bq m−3 and 0.57 ± 0.99 Bq m−3, respectively. The annual inhalation dose comes out to be 0.98 ± 0.16 mSv.
