  • Radon is a mysterious radioactive gas existing in environment near ground level of Earth. Understand its existence and how to monitoring in time at each hour is important for students and society. In this paper will be discussed an experimental set to analyze radon gas intensity oscillations in indoor and outdoor places during a time period of 4 months in 2020 in São José dos Campos, tropical region, Brazil. Thus, we compare parameters to analyze the emission of radon gas in different weather conditions as dry and rainy periods and day/night oscillations. The final analysis shows that outdoor places are less dangerous to health in cloudy and drizzly days with almost 50% less radon gas intensity that in normal day with great insolation.These measurements carried out in this region of Brazil show very low gas radon intensity and do not interfere with the health of humans.
