“…The results of these comparative experiments have proved the consistency of 222 Rn activity concentration measurements conducted at several most important laboratories in the country [40,53,54]. Some research teams have also developed their own analytical and measurement methods, often based on research devices and test stands with unique structures [55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67].…”

“…underground hard coal and copper mines in southern and south-western Poland (the Upper Silesian foredeep and the Sudetes) are also interesting. The values measured in hard coal mines oscillate in the range from tens to 150, 000 Bq/m 3 [37,55]. At the same time, 222 Rn activity concentration in salt caverns in copper mines, at the depth of about 1000 m b.s.l., range from 12 to 49 Bq/m 3 [38].…”

The article presents the most important results of radon research in Poland. Large-scale research, launched in this country in the early 1950s, was originally linked to using radon dissolved in groundwater in balneotherapy as well as to uranium ore exploration and mining. This early research focused on the area of the Sudetes and nowadays it is also south-western Poland where most radon research is being conducted. This is chiefly due to the geological structure of the Sudetes and the Fore-Sudetic block, which is propitious to radon accumulation in many environments. Radon research in Poland has been developing dynamically since the 1990s. A lot of research teams and centres have been formed, all of them using a variety of methods and advanced measurement equipment enabling research into radon occurrence in all geospheres and all spheres of human activity. The author presents the contribution of Polish science to broadening human knowledge of the geochemistry of radon, particularly of 222Rn isotope. The article also presents the ranges and mean values of 222Rn activity concentration measured in different environments in Poland including the atmospheric air, the air in buildings and underground hard-coal and copper mines, the cave air, the air in underground tourist sites and abandoned uranium mines, as well as soil air and groundwater.

“…Radium purification can be accomplished with different methods: barium sulphate coprecipitation, selective scintillation cocktail extraction, filtration on selective membranes. 25,26,27,28,29,30,31 The second method consists in an indirect measurement of 226 Ra alone through its short term decay products. As in radon measurement (see 2.4), the water sample is transferred to a scintillation vial preloaded with a water immiscible cocktail.…”
