“…This sudden increase in the gamma dose was usually followed by a rapid return to background levels within a few hours after the rain stopped. These observations suggest that short-term (few hours) fluctuations in the rise of gamma rays were partially influenced by a heavy precipitation event, as has been similarly described before [43,[47][48][49].…”

“…The Influence of Meteorological Parameters. Some earlier investigations have revealed that changes in gamma rays may be affected by meteorological factors, such as atmospheric pressure, humidity, temperature, and precipitation [39,[42][43][44][45][46]. Therefore, it is necessary for meteorological effects to be taken into consideration when analyzing gamma ray results.…”

“…It has been repeatedly reported [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ] that periods of precipitation are accompanied by an abnormal rapid increase (bursts) of the -radiation background. This phenomenon is explained by the processes of washing out short-lived - and -emitting decay products of radon and thoron from the atmosphere onto various surfaces and is known as “radon washout” [ 14 ].…”

“…Na sygnał tła składa się promieniowanie pochodzące m.in. z: podłoża, materiałów budowlanych, promieniowania kosmicznego, lokalnie występującego radonu, obudowy detektora oraz samego kryształu (Carconi et al, 2012;Amanat et al, 2013;Korun et al, 2014;Baldoncini et al, 2017;Lindstorm, 2017;Melintescu et al, 2018). W pracy, w celu obniżenia wpływu tła zastosowano aparaturę z osłoną o grubości 10 cm.…”
