Measurements of radon concentration in several wards of the University Clinical Center of Kosovo and determination of the absorbed doses to the personnel staff in these wards.

Abstract

Understanding that what’s the level of environment pollution from radioactive pollutant in some wards of UCCK (University Clinical Center of Kosovo) in Prishtina are made measurements of α radiation which is the product of ²²²Rn and have been read doses of TLD to some staff workers in three wards of UCCK. All this is done to see the risk level of possible pollution. Concentration of radon ²²²Rn is measured with clever CRM-510 portable instrument. During the measurements the apparatus has recorded parameters: environment temperature, air relative humidity, and atmospheric pressure. Effective doses of TLD samples are taken from 9 workers who operate in these environments and for three consecutive years. In review, samples are taken from 9 workers in three different wards and among them one is operating as a technician. Some of these people are workers who work with x-rays periodically and in the same places are measured values of sources of ²²²Rn to compare the risk level from radiation of these two categories, also during this research were determined age of workers, as well.
