Some rocks can release Radon gases in different amounts, also the same rocks are used as building materials, either in cement manufacturing, or building blocks or rocks.
Try to download UNSCEAR report 2000. There you´ll find a lot of radon infos. If you need some help to do calculations mail to me, I´ve written a chapter (in German) how to calculate radon exposition.
For example in Italy the "tufo" (a pyroclastic rock of vulcanic origin, also knows as "igimbrite", naturally emitting radon atoms) has been the subject of many studies.
