    The purpose of this study is to measure and monitor the radon concentration from fabricated foamed light concrete, made of Portland cement, mine sand and granite. The concentration of radon released was measured using Radon Monitor Model 1027 from Sun Nuclear. The results of this research showed that the avearge radon concentration from foamed light concrete was 2.2 pCiL-1 L. Higher radon concentrations were detected after three days of measurements. Environment Protection Agency stated in its guidelines that radon concentration must lower than 4 pCiL-1 for a healthy environment. Thus, the use of foamed light concrete can be one of the alternatives to reduce radon concentration levels in human environment.
