Mean annual 222Rn concentration in homes located in different geological regions of Poland – first approach to whole country area

Radon concentrations in kindergartens and schools in two cities: Kalisz and Ostrów Wielkopolski in Poland

“…The aim of this study was to carry out a preliminary survey of radon levels in the kindergartens and schools in the two cities, Kalisz and Ostrów Wielkopolski, located in the southern part of the Greater Poland region, in the Fore-Sudeten monocline tectonic unit. Unfortunately, in the recently published data of the mean annual 222 Rn concentration in homes for the whole of Poland, this region had not been taken into consideration [ 15 ].…”

Estimate of radon exposure in geothermal SPAs in Poland

“…Doses that we have estimated, except for 1 single case quoted above, do not exceed the recommended safe limits specified in the Atomic Law. The radon concentration values measured by us in the air of Polish spa resorts are slightly lower than the natural concentration background from the indoor radon, which are calculated to be within the range of 114-249 Bq/m 3 [11]. According to the Authors' previous study [3], globally…”

Qualitative overview of indoor radon surveys in Europe

“…National surveys were conducted in 22 EU countries: Austria (Friedmann, 2005) Croatia (Radolić et al, 2006), Czech Republic (Hůlka, 2014; Slezáková et al, 2013; Thomas et al, 2004), Denmark (Andersen et al, 2007, 2001), Estonia (Pahapill et al, 2003), Finland (Valmari et al, 2010; Weltner et al, 2002), France (Gambard et al, 2000; Rannou et al, 2006), Greece (Nikolopoulos et al, 2002), Hungary (Hámori et al, 2006; Nikl, 1996), Ireland (Dowdall et al, 2017; Fennell et al, 2002), Italy (Bochicchio et al, 2005; Carelli et al, 2009), Lithuania (Morkunas and Akelbrom, 1999), Luxembourg (Kies et al, 1997), Malta (Baluci et al, 2013), Netherlands (Lembrechts et al, 2001; Stoop et al, 1998), Poland (Przylibski et al, 2011), Portugal (Faisca et al, 1992), Slovakia (Vicanova et al, 1998; Vladár et al, 1996), Slovenia (Humar et al, 1995; Križman et al, 1996), Spain (Sainz Fernández et al, 2017), Sweden (Swedjemark, 2002; Swedjemark et al, 1993), United Kingdom (Daraktchieva et al, 2015; Miles et al, 2007, 2011). Only regional surveys were identified in 5 member states: Belgium (Cinelli et al, 2011; Poffijn et al, 1994; Tondeur et al, 1997; Zhu et al, 2001, 1998), Bulgaria (Ivanova et al, 2013), Cyprus (Anastasiou et al, 2003; Theodoulou et al, 2012), Germany (Kemski et al, 2004, 1996), Latvia (Dambis, 1996), Romania (Cucoş (Dinu) et al, 2017).…”
