| Abstract: | The doses of gamma radiation, concentrations of radium isotopes in water and sediments, radon concentration and concentration
of alpha potential energy of radon decay products in the copper ore mine and in the mining region in the vicinity of Lubin
town in Poland are presented. These data served as a basis for the assessment of radiological hazard to the mine workers and
general public. The results of this assessment indicate that radiological hazard in the region does not differ substantially
from typical values associated with natural radiation background. The calculated average annual effective dose for copper
miners is 1.48 mSv. In general, copper ore mines can be regarded as radiologically safe workplaces. |
