In the present work, three radioactive elements of radium were used to produce radon gas and 222 Rn was measured by three different techniques (Rad-7 detector, Scout detector and CR-39 detector). It was found that the 222 Rn gas measured by Rad-7 detector is closer to the real readings than other detectors.
