山西省非铀金属矿山放射性水平调查研究

Abstract

Abstract: To assess radioactive levels in non-uranium metal mines in Shanxi Province and evaluate their potential occupational health implications, 9 metal mines were selected in this study. Cumulative radon concentrations were measured in both mine shafts andground-level workplaces using the CR-39 solid track detector system. Results indicated that radon concentrations in the underground air of 5 metal mines exceeded 1 000 Bq/m³.Variance analysis revealed statistically significant differences in radon concentrations between 3 of the mines and the remaining 6 mines (P<0.05). High radon concentrations in the underground air of three mines were observed at the ore crushing sites and locations exhibiting groundwater seepage and water inrush.The findings of this survey and measurement indicate elevated radon concentrations in certain non-uranium metal mines, warranting the implementation of targeted mitigation measures to reduce miners' risk of radon-induced lung cancer.

Key words: metal mines, radon concentrations, investigation of radioactive levels
