INDOOR RADON ACTIVITY CONCENTRATION MEASUREMENTS IN THE GREAT HISTORICAL MUSEUMS OF UNIVERSITY OF NAPLES, ITALY

摘要

Indoor radon activity concentrations were measured in seven Museums of University of Naples, very old buildings of great historical value. The measurements were performed using a time-integrated technique based on LR-115 solid-state nuclear track detectors. The annual average concentrations were found to range from 40 up to 1935 Bq m~(-3) and in 26 % of measurement sites, the values were higher than 500 Bq m~(-3) which is the limit value of Italian legislation for workplace. Moreover, we analysed the seasonal variations of radon concentrations observing the highest average in cold weather than in warm.
