  • 1. Research and Design Inst. for Rare and Radioactive Metals, Research Laboratory for Radiation Protection, Working Conditions and Ecology, Petru Groza town (Romania)

Description

Between 1970-1990 were investigated 267 mining and exploration non-uranium units at 104 (39%) being exceeded the maximum permissible radon concentration (MPC) for public (110 Bq/m3) and at 15 (5.6%) the MPC for occupational exposure (1100 Bq/m3)1, so being necessary the recommendation of limiting measures. Were clarified the causes of appearance and accumulation of radioactive gases, the main source being the natural radioactive elements from rocks and minerals and the cause of accumulation the inefficiency of ventilation.
