In this study, the indoor radon activity concentrations have been measured in the Neapolitan catacombs using LR115 detectors. The detectors were exposed for two quarters, one in the warm season and the other in the cold. This has allowed one to evaluate the seasonal variations of concentrations, while the diurnal variations were evaluated performing continuous measurements by a Radim 5 monitor. The authors found that radon concentrations were lower in winter than in summer. Based on their values, taking into consideration the working hours in the catacombs and the equilibrium factor of 0.4, the effective dose to workers was estimated.
