Abstract Radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. Since people spend a significant part of the day in closed areas, it is necessary to take measures to reduce and mitigate indoor radon levels. This study focuses on using metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as novel radon adsorbents. The solid-state nuclear trace method was adopted to determine the radon adsorption of MOFs. The study consisted of four stages: MOF synthesis, characterization, MOF-doped nanofabric production, and determination of radon adsorption of fabrics. The results showed that MOF-doped nanofibers have radon adsorption potential.
