The main task was to evaluate possible radon risk to the public and workers in four caves of economical importance.Green Grotto Cave is a large labyrinthine limestone cave, open to the tourism; kept Rn concentration in the range 30–40 Bq m−3. Xtabil a coral limestone sea cave is part of a beach resort resulted in very low radon concentration of 10 Bq m−3.Windsor is an intricate limestone cave system showed Rn concentration in the range 250–350 Bq m−3. Whereas the Oxford caves, is situated in a region of high radioactivity in soil due to the bauxite mines, reached a maximum of 2592 Bq m−3.
► Touristic caves of economical importance shown no radon risk for workers and visitors.
► Maximum permanence time due to abnormal radon is given for caves used by speleologist.
► Despite high Rn and U in soil in bauxite areas no risk is determined in houses.
