title: Radon exposure at drinking water supply plants in Slovenia.
abstract: Radon was measured at ten drinking water supply plants in Slovenia, in rooms attended by workers. Concentrations ranged from 40 to 2600 Bq x m(-3) resulting in annual effective doses of the personnel, calculated according to the ICRP 65 methodology, of below 0.5 mSv at 6 places, and of 0.6-3.0 mSv at the others. In addition, at each plant water was analyzed for 222Rn and 226Ra and ranges of 0.5-33 kBq x m(-3) and 5-34 Bq x m(-3), respectively, were obtained.
