Description

Systematic measurements of indoor radon concentrations in all the 730 kindergartens and play schools in Slovenia were carried out. The basic method was direct sampling of air into alpha scintillation cells, but in cases with increased indoor radon concentrations track-etch detectors and alpha spectroscopy were also applied. In 72% of kindergartens and play schools instantaneous indoor radon concentrations were below 100 Bq m-3, with a geometric mean of 58 Bq m-3. In 16 cases it exceeded 800 Bq m-3, with the highest value of 5750 Bq m-3
