摘要
Indoor radon concentrations in the kindergardens of Osijek were measured with alpha-scintillation cells. LR-115 nuclear track detectors, as well as a Radhome semiconductor detector, and average values of 50.2, 43.7 and 47 Bq m-3 were obtained respectively. Under the worst conditions, the annual radon effective dose equivalent was 10 mSv per year. Using the bare and filtered LR-115 detectors, the average equilibrium factor may assessed as 0.36, indoor. Measurements of the gamma dove rate in the kindergartens did not show any significant correlation with radon concentrations.
