[Problems in the evaluation of miners' exposure to radon in Poland in view of international organizations recommendations and European Union directives].

Abstract:

:Exposure of miners to natural radiation in which radon-222 plays the major role has been studied in Poland since the end of the nineteen sixties. The work environment measurements and personal monitoring methods have been developed for monitoring the exposure. A quite wide range of doses resulting from big differences in radon concentrations in mines is characteristic of miners' exposure. It was estimated that about 16% of miners received doses above 5 mSv per year. This group of miners should be provided with individual dosymentry. In this paper methodological and legal aspects of the situation in mines are analysed. A large number of Polish recommendations and legal regulations must be changed in order to harmonise them with the directives of the European Union.
