Opis:
The major part of the radiation dose that humans receive from natural radioactive sources is due to inhalation of radon and its decay products. The study focuses on radon concentration (CRn) investigation in kindergartens and nurseries in the district of Montana. The infl uence of building characteristics on CRn was evaluated. The measurement of the CRn was performed using passive detectors. The survey was carried out between December 2019 and May 2020 with a total number of 602 detectors. The average value of CRn in the premises of the studied kindergartens and nurseries in this district is 125 Bq·m−3 , and the geometric mean (GM) value is 88 Bq·m−3 . The buildings that have built ventilation and sewerage systems have lower CRn. The effective doses of the children and workers were evaluated in order to assess the radon exposure.

Opis:
Radon is known as a radioactive element that dissolves easily in water. It is worth mentioning that it is available in all possible reservoirs. Its concentration cannot be measured directly but only from the emitted radiation. Investigations of 222Rn activity in water in the Kielce district were subjected to three selected water intakes: Bolechowice, Kołomań and Wola Kopcowa. This type of research was conducted for the first time in the discussed area. The results were analyzed in detail in terms of acceptable concentrations. Next, it was determined whether the geological location of the intakes in question may have an impact on the amount of radon present in water from the water supply network.
Radon znany jest jako pierwiastek promieniotwórczy, który łatwo rozpuszcza się w wodzie. Warto zaznaczyć, że dostępny jest we wszystkich możliwych zbiornikach. Jego stężenia nie da się zmierzyć bezpośrednio, a jedynie na podstawie emitowanego promieniowania. Badaniom aktywności 222Rn w wodzie w powiecie kieleckim zostały poddane trzy wybrane ujęcia wód wodociągowych: Bolechowice, Kołomań oraz Wola Kopcowa. Tego typu badania prowadzone są po raz pierwszy na omawianym terenie. Wyniki zostały poddane szczegółowej analizie, m.in. pod kątem dopuszczalnych stężeń. Następnie ustalono, czy położenie geologiczne omawianych ujęć może mieć wpływ na ilość pojawiającego się w wodach sieci wodociągowych radonu.

Opis:
The population is continuously exposed to a background level of ionizing radiation due to the natural radioactivity and, in particular, with radon (222Rn). Radon gas has been classified as the second leading cause of lung cancer after tobacco smoke [1]. In the confined environment, radon concentration can reach harmful level and vary accordingly to many factors. Since the primary source of radon in dwellings is the subsurface, the risk assessment and reduction cannot disregard the identification of the local geology and the environmental predisposing factors. In this article, we propose a new methodology, based on the computation of the Gini coefficients at different spatial scales, to estimate the spatial correlation and the geographical variability of radon concentrations. This variability can be interpreted as a signature of the different subsurface geological conditions. The Gini coefficient computation is a statistical tool widely used to determine the degree of inhomogeneity of different kinds of distributions. We generated several simulated radon distributions, and the proposed tool has been validated by comparing the variograms based on the semi-variance computation with those ones based on the Gini coefficient. The Gini coefficient variogram is shown to be a good estimator of the inhomogeneity degree of radon concentration. Indeed, it allows to better constrain the critical distance below which the radon geological source can be considered as uniform at least for the investigated length scales of variability; it also better discriminates the fluctuations due to the environmental predisposing factors from those ones due to the random spatially uncorrelated noise.

Opis:
More than half of the total natural ionizing radiation dose received by the human population is caused by radon and thoron (Rn and Tn) and their progeny. To estimate the level of radiation due to radon and thoron and their progeny, an investigation was conducted in a residential area near the world’s largest open-pit mine of Bayan Obo in Inner Mongolia, China. The concentration of Rn, Tn, and their decay products in air and soil were studied by using AlphaGUARD, RAD7, and ERS-RDM-2S for a discrete period of time in three different locations. The average indoor concentration of radon and thoron was 62.6 ± 44.6 Bq/m3 and 108.3 ± 94.5 Bq/m3 respectively, and the outdoor concentration was 12.9 ± 6.3 Bq/m3 and 55.8 ± 18.5 Bq/m3 , respectively. Relatively high concentrations were recorded in the area near to the mine, with a significant increasing trend observed in indoor thoron concentration. A prominent hotspot in thoron concentration was found in a single-story house with values 747 ± 150 Bq/m3 . The equilibrium equivalent thoron concentration (EECTn) varies from 0.48 Bq/m3 to 2.36 Bq/m3 with an arithmetic mean of 1.37 ± 0.64 Bq/m3 , and comparatively higher than EECRn. Concluding that the mining activity at Bayan Obo mine is significantly increasing the level of indoor thoron and its progeny in surroundings. It is suggested to further systematically investigate the indoor Rn and Tn progeny concentrations in the residential dwellings of the Bayan Obo mining area, and 232Th content of the building materials, to provide a basis for calculating the radiation dose.

The presence of uranium makes the Kowary area characterized by an increased concentration of radon in the air and the living houses. Measurements of periodic radon concentrations in dwellings of Kowary were carried out three times in the last 20 years. It can be observed that 20 years ago level of radon concentrations in houses of Kowary were lower than today. Measurements carried out in Kowary over 20 years have shown that residents are exposed to radon concentrations, which often exceed 300 Bq•m-3 – a reference level recommended by the European Union. The present geometric mean of radon concentration in houses of Kowary (260 Bq•m-3 ) exceeds the geometric mean of radon concentration of buildings in the rest of Poland (142 Bq•m-3 ).

Opis:
Radon Rn-222 is a commonly occurring natural radionuclide found in the environment from uranium- -radium radioactive series, which is the decay product of radium Ra-226. The presence of radon carries negative health effects. It is, in fact, classifi ed as a carcinogen, and therefore, it is necessary to continuously monitor its concentration. The aim of this study was to determine the level of radon-222 concentration in water intended for human consumption in the two voivodeships of Poland: West Pomeranian and Kuyavian-Pomeranian. Measurements were performed for more than 60 intakes. The level of radon was measured by using the liquid scintillation counting method. The range of measured radon concentration in the water from the West Pomeranian Voivodeship was from 0.90 to 11.41 Bq/dm3 with an average of 5.01 Bq/dm3, while that from the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship was from 1.22 to 24.20 Bq/dm3 with an average of 4.67 Bq/dm3. Only in three water intakes, the concentration of radon-222 exceeded the value of 10 Bq/dm3. The obtained results allowed to conclude that population exposure associated with radon-222 in water is negligible and there is no need to take further action. In the case of three intakes where a higher concentration of radon was found, the potential exposure was low.

The localities had a diverse orography, ranging from flatland to hilly terrain. A significant infl uence of orography and 226Ra and 222Rn content in soil on diurnal time series of RAC was found. A simple approach of determining radon exhalation rate from soil based on the increase of RAC from daily minima to maxima and removal characteristic of radon is presented. A linear dependency between radon exhalation rate from the soil and RAC in the soil gas at a depth of 0.8 m was found for sandy soils.

Wstęp W Polsce funkcjonuje około 200 podziemnych tras turystycznych. Są to jaskinie, kopalnie oraz podziemne budowle. W niniejszej pracy przedstawiono wyniki badań mających na celu rozpoznanie zakresu występowania stężeń radonu we wnętrzach podziemnych tras turystycznych. Materiał i metody W celu oszacowania stopnia zagrożenia przeprowadzono okresowe (1–2-miesięczne) pomiary stężeń radonu. Wykonano je w okresie letnim za pomocą detektorów śladowych typu Tastrak. Określono średnie stężenie radonu w powietrzu w 66 podziemnych trasach turystycznych w Polsce. Wyniki W wyniku przeprowadzonych badań uzyskano 259 pomiarów średnich stężeń radonu. Średnia arytmetyczna wyników wyniosła 1610 Bqm⁻³, maksymalne zmierzone stężenie – ponad 20 tys. Bqm⁻³, a stężenie minimalne – 100 Bqm⁻³ (próg czułości metody). Stwierdzono, że w 67% tras średnie stężenie radonu przekroczyło wartość 300 Bqm⁻³, natomiast w 22 podziemnych trasach przekroczyło 1000 Bqm⁻³. Wnioski Występujący w podziemnych trasach turystycznych radon w wielu przypadkach może stanowić problem organizacyjno-prawny i zdrowotny. Należy opracować program działań, których celem będzie obniżenie stężeń radonu w podziemnych trasach, szczególnie zlokalizowanych w zamkniętych kopalniach. Med. Pr. 2015;66(4):557–563
Background There are about 200 underground tourist routes in Poland. There are caves, mines or underground structures. This paper presents the results of the research intended to identify the extent of the occurrence of radon concentrations in underground areas of tourist routes. Material and Methods We conducted the measurement of periodic concentrations of radon (1–2 months) in the summer using type Tastrak trace detectors. We determined the average concentrations of radon in air in 66 underground tourist routes in Poland. Results The research results comprise 259 determinations of average radon concentrations in 66 routes. The arithmetic average of the results was 1610 Bqm⁻³, and the maximum measured concentration was over 20 000 Bqm⁻³. The minimum concentration was 100 Bqm⁻³ (threshold method) considering the arithmetic average of the measurements. It was found that in 67% of the routes, the average concentration of radon has exceeded 300 Bqm⁻³ and in 22 underground routes it exceeded 1000 Bqm⁻³. Conclusions Radon which occurs in many Polish underground tourist routes may be an organizational, legal and health problem. It is necessary to develop a program of measures to reduce radon concentrations in underground routes, especially routes located in the former mines. Med Pr 2015;66(4):557–563

Opis:
The Rn-222 isotope, a naturally occurring radioactive gas, is created in a radioactive decay of Ra-226. Both radionuclides belong to the radium decay chain in which U-238 is the prime parent. Radon is usually in plenty found in the earth crust, rocks, soil, water and air, therefore it is regarded as an indicator of ionizing radiation dose received by a population. Due to radon negative influence on people’s health, measurements of its concentration are commonly performed. The presented research concerns assessment of measurements uncertainty of Rn-222 concentration exhaled from soil. The measurements were repeated at the same site. The experiment was carried out in natural conditions, in the city center and lasted about half a year. In Rn-222 concentration measurements the AlphaGUARD radon monitor was used. The device was operating in the 10-minutes flow mode, with the air pump and exhalation-box arranged in the closed cycle. The studies have shown a significant differences between results of radon exhalation measurements, which were carried out sequentially in the same place. Generally, increase in measurements number in a series lowers the result uncertainty. Consequently, the number of measurements in a series can be adjusted to the desired uncertainty of result. What is more, the distribution of the results in series is well described by the Poisson distribution.
Izotop Rn-222, naturalnie występujący radioaktywny gaz, powstaje na skutek rozpadu promieniotwórczego Ra-226. Oba radionuklidy należą do szeregu uranowo-radowego, który rozpoczyna U-238. Radon występuje w dużych ilościach w skorupie ziemskiej, skałach, glebie, wodzie i powietrzu, dlatego jest on traktowany jako wskaźnik dawki promieniowania jonizującego otrzymywanego przez ludzi. Ze względu na negatywny wpływ radonu na zdrowie ludzi pomiary stężenia tego gazu są często wykonywane. Zaprezentowano wyniki badań niepewności pomiarowej stężenia Rn-222 w powietrzu ekshalowanym z gleby. Pomiary powtarzano wielokrotnie w tym samym miejscu. Eksperyment przeprowadzony został w warunkach naturalnych, w centrum miasta i obejmował okres około pół roku. Do pomiarów stężenia radonu wykorzystano monitor radonowy AlphaGUARD. Pracował on w 10-minutowym trybie przepływowym, z pompą oraz komorą ekshalacyjną w obiegu zamkniętym. Badania wykazały znaczne różnice pomiędzy wynikami pomiarów, wykonywanych w całym okresie badawczym. W pojedynczej serii większa liczba pomiarów zmniejsza niepewność pomiarową. Dzięki temu ilość pomiarów w serii może być dostosowana do oczekiwanej niepewności pomiarowej wyniku. Stwierdzono, że rozkład wyników aktywności radonu w serii jest dobrze opisywany przez rozkład Poissona.

Celem opracowania jest znalezienie związku między stężeniem radonu (ρRn-222), rejestrowanym w powietrzu 2 m nad gruntem, i strumieniem ciepła glebowego (QG). Pomiary ρRn-222 wykonywano co 1 godz. za pomocą automatycznej komory jonizacyjnej Alpha GUARDR PQ2000 Pro. Synchronicznie do stężenia radonu w latach 2008-2010 mierzono QG za pomocą czujnika typu HFP01 Heat Flux Plate firmy Cambell Scientific Ltd. w centrum Łodzi oraz na stacji zamiejskiej Ciosny (teren rolniczy, 25 km na połnoc od Łodzi). Badane zmienne cechuje quasi-synchroniczny przebieg dobowy z maksimum w godzinach nocnych i minimum w godzinach popołudniowych. Związek ρRn-222 i QG opisano modelem funkcji eksponencjalnej. Na stacji Ciosny miesiące od III do XI cechują się bardzo wysokim stopniem dopasowania danych modelowanych do danych pomiarowych stężenia radonu w świetle indeksu zgodności Willmotta. Dla stacji w Łodzi uzyskano gorsze rezultaty, stosując model ρRn-222 w którym wykorzystuje się strumień ciepła glebowego.
The aim of the study was to find the relationship between radon (Rn-222) concentration and soil heat flux. Atmospheric concentration of radon was measured continuously (in 60-min intervals) at a height of 2 m above the ground using AlphaGUARD® PQ2000PRO (ionization chamber) at urban (city center of Łódź) and rural (Ciosny, 25 km north of Łódź) site in the period 2008-2010. Simultaneously, soil heat flux (QG) was measured by means of HFP01 Heat Flux Plate, Campbell Scientific Ltd. The diurnal pattern of Rn-222 concentration was revealed with a maximum in the early morning and a minimum in the afternoon. In general, the diurnal variation of near-surface Rn-222 concentration varied approximately in phase with the soil heat flux. The exponential function model was used to estimate a daily course of radon concentration on the basis of soil heat flux values in particular months. The period from March to November was characterised by a good agreement between the observed and model-predicted Rn-222 concentration ("index of agreement" by Willmott was used to evaluate the model). Measured Rn-222 concentrations in the rural station Ciosny fitted better to model data than those from the urban station in the city center of Łódź.

Opis:
The main aim of the presented work was to verify, whether soil gas radon concentrations measured directly on building sites at a depth of 0.8 m below ground level and used in several countries for the design of protective measures against radon from the soil are in agreement with concentrations measured under houses after they had been built on a corresponding site. The correlation between sub-slab concentrations and concentrations measured at a depth of 0.8 m below the uncovered soil surface has been studied using a numerical simulation with the help of the computer program Radon2D. Numerical predictions showed that radon concentrations under the houses could be significantly different from concentrations measured on the building site and used for the assessment of radon risk categories. The highest differences were predicted for soil profiles with highly permeable upper layers. In the case of houses resting on the ground level the sub-slab radon concentration can be up to 3.4 times higher compared to the concentration measured at a depth of 0.8 m. An even higher increase was predicted for houses with the floor embedded 2 m below ground level. In this case the sub-floor concentrations increased up to 9.3 times. Numerical modelling can thus be considered as a powerful tool that can ensure the higher reliability of radon preventive and remedial measures.

Opis:
Radon and its short-lived disintegration products are the most significant factors of exposure to ionizing radiation from natural sources. Białystok has the population of about 300,000 inhabitants in 100,460 flats in 16,282 houses. They are mostly one-family houses (about 80.7per cent) and two-family houses (8.2 per cent). It can be estimated that about 2/3 of the Białystok inhabitants live in the so-called “blocks of flats”. The study aimed at evaluation of the exposure to radon present in the flats. The integral method of trace detectors was used to measure radon concentration indoors. All values of the radon concentration were the mean annual values as they were obtained on annual exposure or were calculated and corrected to annual exposure based on shorter periods of time. Radon concentration distribution in flats of 3 housing estates in Białystok was analyzed. The effective dose of inhaled radon per a statistical inhabitant of Białystok (about 1.1 mSv) per year was calculated on the basis of mean values of radon concentration. Inhabitants of one-family houses obtained slightly higher annual doses – 1.4 mSv while the inhabitants of block of flats got lower annual doses – 0.8 mSv.

Opis:
The concentration of radon and its decay products in the boundary layer of the atmosphere varies and depends on many factors. One of the main factors leading to the variability of equilibrium equivalent concentration (EEC) of radon is the dynamic behavior of the atmosphere. Describing the behavior of radon concentration and EEC in the atmosphere is important for the estimation of natural human exposition (this was our original goal). The National Institute for Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Protection (SÚJCHBO, v.v.i.) has been investigating the characteristics of radon decay products in the boundary layer of the atmosphere since 1985. The measurements of EEC were carried out in places with different exhalation of radon from the subsoil. The grab sampling method, as well as continuous measurement, were applied in various areas. The determination of outdoor radon and radon daughter product (RnDP) is not easy due to very low levels of their concentrations: therefore, many methods and devices had to be modified for this type of measurement.

Opis:
The presence of elevated concentrations of radon in water is a potential health risk when the water is used in public water supply, mainly because of the increase of radon concentration in the indoor air due to degassing [16]. Samples were taken from a large number of Luxembourg’s drinking water springs in 2007 to determine the major ion chemistry and potential contaminants, mainly from agriculture. The natural radioactive isotopes were analysed as part of this program. Two sampling campaigns were performed, one in summer, one in winter, to consider seasonal variations. This paper presents the radon activities, which were sampled during the two field campaigns and measured using liquid scintillation counting (LSC). For quality assurance of our results we made three replicates from each collected water sample. This methodology was used because it is more accurate than other possible methods of radon measurement, and its limit of detection is sufficiently low, i.e., 700 Bqźm–3. The correlation between radon and radium levels was estimated, as well as the dependence of radon levels on geology. The results from the year 2007 were compared to previous measurements from the year 2003. Five springs in the program were sampled monthly throughout a year to account for possible seasonal variations, additionally to the large spatial extend of the program.
