Título Authorized limits of radon daughter products in Polish underground metal-ore mines in the light of experience
Información bibliográfica Jan. 1989, Vol.2, No.1, p.76-86. Illus. 15 ref.
Resumen The paper presents the results of measurements of individual exposures of miners to radioactive radon daughter products in metal-ore mines in Poland. Results concern the 3-year period between 1985-87, during which the observed annual average concentrations were stable. The values: 1 WLM, 2.5 WLM, 3.5 WLM (Working Level Month) were considered and commended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), and approved by the WHO, ILO and IAEA. Though the value of 3.5 WLM is presently adopted and officially authorised in Poland as the Authorised Limit of annual individual miners' exposure, the results presented in this paper lead to the conclusion that the value of 2.5 WLM could be adopted instead of the current one. This means that the present limit could be decreased by about 30% and without causing any social, technological and economic problems in Polish metal-ore mines.
