Abstract
Radon mass and surface exhalation rates in selected ceramic tiles commonly used in Ibadan Southwest Nigeria were determined and the associated radiological parameters estimated. Forty-five samples of different types of floor and wall tiles were obtained from local markets. Each prepared sample was sealed an airtight radon sample container and kept for 28 days before analyses were carried out using a radon monitor (SARAD Radon Scout Plus).
