Rn-222 - a potential health risk for thermal spas workers in Poland (original) (raw)

Uranium - Past and Future Challenges, 2014

Abstract

This paper presents the assessment of radiation exposure due to inhalation of Rn-222 and its progeny for workers and clients of selected thermal water spas. The evaluation of the radon risk is based on the activity concentration of Rn-222 in the investigated thermal waters. For this purpose, a radon transfer coefficient which describes a fraction of radon transferred from swimming-pool water to the indoor swimming-pool air was calculated. The evaluated annual effective dos-es for the model clients and workers range in the intervals of 0.40 μSv to 194 μSv and 0.022 mSv to 10.8 mSv, respectively.
