[The contents of radon in deep borehole water of hydro-geological region of Gdańsk].

Radon 222Rn in deep borehole water of Gdańsk Hydrogeological Region has been quantitative determined. This region is located in east part of Gdańsk Voivodship and in west part of Elblag Voivodship including Zuławy. The measurements were performed using alpha liquid scintillation counting method.

[Exposure to radon-222 of inhabitants of buildings in Olsztyn].

The concentrations of radon-222 in the air of some buildings in Olsztyn were measured. The main source of radon in buildings is in general the ground under building and the materials used for building structure. In this work the results of radon-222 concentration measurements in the air of some buildings constructed before the 1939 year, in the buildings constructed after 1945 year with the traditional use of the bricks and in the buildings constructed with the use of great prefabricated plates are presented.

[The radon therapy: radon inhalation spa in Kowary].

In this paper the measurements of radon-222 concentration in the air of Kowary Radon Inhalatorium in the vicinity of Jelenia Góra, Lower Silesia, Poland, performed by Radiation Protection and Radiobiology Department of National Institute of Hygiene in Warsaw, have been presented. For the measurements the integration method with the application of charcoal canisters have been used. The radon concentration was found within the very broad ranges from about 4 to 420 kBq m-3 depending of the season of the year.

[Radiation induced adaptation in peripheral blood reticulocytes of mice].

An in vivo micronucleus assay in mice reticulocytes of peripheral blood for identifying the possibility of induction of adaptive response to various doses of radiation: 2.5 cGy or 5.0 cGy as adapting and 50 cGy or 100 cGy as challenging doses was performed.

[The content of radon 222Rn in deep borehole water of the Pojezierze Mazurskie terrain].

Radon 222Rn in deep borehole water of Pojezierze Mazurskie region has been quantitative determined. The measurement were performed using the alpha liquid scintillation counting method. The water samples were examined from three voivodships: Elblag, Olsztyn and Suwałki.
