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- 1 st phase Radon Action Plan- 2 st phase  Minister of Environment  Data collection to identify established a working group existing exposure situations responsible for drafting the – specifically radon risk National Action Plan  Collect all available (08.08.2014) information about radon  National Radon Center measurements and about geology (radon (16 organizations; measurements carried out 2 Laboratories Accredited by in Poland in the past, Polish Centre for Existing „Radon maps ”) Accreditation) Zuzanna Jarosz RER 9/127/001 Central Laboratory for Radiological Protection Sofia, Bulgaria, 13-17.10.2014

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 on standardized protocol and expand the national database Radon Concentration indoors.

Main problems on the way to established Radon Action Plan in Poland 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 ” Zuzanna Jarosz RER 9/127/001 Central Laboratory for Radiological Protection Sofia, Bulgaria, 13-17.10.2014
