National Programme for the Control of Public Exposure to Radon Radon Action Plan in Poland

Zuzanna Jarosz Central Laboratory for Radiological Protection Department of Radiation Monitoring and Calibration

Zuzanna Jarosz RER 9/127/001 Central Laboratory for Radiological Protection Sofia, Bulgaria, 13-17.10.2014

Radon Action Plan- 1st phase

 Data collection to identify existing exposure situations – specifically radon risk  Collect all available information about radon measurements and about geology (radon measurements carried out in Poland in the past, Existing „Radon maps”)

 Minister of Environment established a working group responsible for drafting the National Action Plan (08.08.2014)  National Radon Center (16 organizations; 2 Laboratories Accredited by Polish Centre for Accreditation)

Main problems on the way to established Radon Action Plan in Poland

Insufficient data- results of measurment of radon

concentration in Poland only for some areas.

No data on the radon concentration in dwellings in the

western and north-western Poland

Develop and standardize the measurement protocol for long-term measurements for the purpose of radon survey. do more surveys based

standardized protocol and expand the national database

2) only two organizations in Poland have the accreditation for radon:

Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kraków (Testing Laboratory)
Central Laboratory for Radiological Protection (Calibration

Laboratory) 3) very low public awareness of radon public risk awareness raising „Develop first basic information leaflet on radon to accompany the measurement explaining the purpose of the measurement”
