Radon measurements carried out in spas of V4 countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia) are shown in this paper. The preliminary results showed that radon concentrations in spas are less than 400 Bq m(-3) in ca. 86 % of cases. However, radon concentration above 1000 Bq m(-3) was found. The paper presents the comparison of three types of passive radon detectors (RAMARN, Raduet and NRPB) used in this survey. The good consistency of results was found when indoor radon concentration was at a level from 80 to 400 Bq m(-3).
