Table 2.
222Rn and 220Rn activity concentrations in air measured with alpha track detectors in Fen legacy iron mines and in Søve Niobium mine with inhalation dose rate contributions (cDR) and combined cold season dose rate (ccDR) with gamma radiation. Abbreviations for bedrock: Fe-Dolomite carbonatite: FDC, Karup: K, redrock: R, redrock with iron: RI, transition zone: T, School mine: SM and søvite: S. Meters below surface given for Karup shaft localities. Control in School office in area covered by Holocene clay deposits (HCD).
