Indoor radon in Slovenia

Abstract

The Slovenian Radon Programme started in 1990. Since then, radon and radon short-lived decay products have been surveyed in 730 kindergartens, 890 schools, 1000 randomly selected homes, 5 major spas, 26 major hospitals, 10 major municipal water supply plants, and 8 major wineries. Alpha scintillation cells, etched track detectors, electret-based detectors and various continuously measuring devices have been used. On the basis of estimated effective doses, decisions were made on appropriate mitigation. In total, 35 buildings have been appropriately modified. The programme is displayed and results reviewed chronologically and discussed.Slovenacki radon program pokrenut je 1999. godine. Od tada se radon i kratkoziveci produkti radonovog raspada nadgledaju u 730 decjih vrtica, 890 skola, 1000 domova izabranih nasumicno, 5 vecih banja, 26 glavnih bolnica, 10 velikih gradskih fabrika vode, i 8 vecih vinarija. Koriscene su alfa scintilacione celije, trag detektori, elektret detektori, i razliciti uredjaji za kontinualno merenje. Na osnovu ocenjenih efektivnih doza donete su odluke o odgovarajucoj zastiti. Ukupno je na svrsishodan nacin prepravljeno 35 zgrada. U radu je prikazan program, a rezultati su hronoloski izlozeni i razmotreni.
