| Abstract: | Measurement of radon is of interest both for the health risk assessment and development of radon therapy in enclosed spaces
like as caves, mines and spas. In Romania, radon therapy is not in use, yet. The development of this treatment method in mines
from our country involves primarily, the evaluation of radon levels in the salt mines. In this paper, the results of radon
gas measurement that were performed at Ocna Dej salt mine (Romania) are presented. The radon measurements were performed using
two systems: radon monitor Pylon AB-5 system and CIS-P5M system. The average radon concentration was found to be between 9.14 ± 5.10 Bq/m3 and 31.70 ± 2.76 Bq/m3. These radon levels are lower in comparison to those reported for mines, caves or spas in other countries where radon therapy
and speleotherapy is frequently in use. Radon concentration and environmental conditions from Ocna Dej salt mine are suitable
for therapeutic applications. |
