Indoor radon concentrations in kindergartens in three Bulgarian districts.

This article examines the results of a study of radon concentrations in kindergartens in three districts of north-western Bulgaria. For the period from December 2019 to May 2020, passive radon measurements were accomplished in 1490 premises of 130 kindergartens. The highest arithmetic mean (AM) value of 219 Bq m and geometric mean (GM) value of 156 Bq m radon concentration were found in the state kindergartens of the Vratsa district.

Indoor radon concentration in state schools of four Bulgarian districts.

Indoor radon concentrations were surveyed in 230 public schools in four Bulgarian districts for the period November/December 2019 to May/June 2020. The measurements were carried out in 2427 rooms on the basement, ground floor and first floor using the passive track detectors of the Radosys system. The estimated arithmetic and geometric means with standard deviations were 153 ± 154 and 114 Bq/m3 (geometric standard deviation (GSD) = 2.
