Abstract :Radon gas insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( 222 Rn); that is a radioactive noble gas is second important reason of lung cancer. The penetration of the radon gas into the houses mostly takes place through the cracks in the building and tap water. Because of these reasons, radon gas detection in water is important for human health. In this study radon gas activity levels have been determined in a total of 14 tap water and spring water samples taken from different parts of Ahlat/Bitlis by AlphaGuard active radon detection system. Radon gas activities ranged from 3.16 Bql -1 to 15.68 Bql -1 and mean value is 10.11 Bql -1 .
