Description

In all underground Polish coal mines the survey of radon concentrations was done. So-called environmental cassette system (ECS) with the passive track detector type Kodak LR-115 was used. The cassettes were placed in mines typical work-places, transportation roads and cross-adits for the time of 1 month. Altogether 870 measurements were performed in 71 underground mines. The mean radon concentration is 0.74 kGq.m-3 with variability range from 0 up to 14.8 kBq.m-3, occasionally. The paper presents the distribution of observed concentrations in each mine and also contains the authorised levels and limits actually used in Poland
