Radon in the spas of Croatia
Radon concentrations in air and geothermal water of the spa pools in Croatia were measured and the average values of 40.3 and 4.5 kBq/m 3 were obtained, respectively. Great difference between radon concentrations in pool and spring water was considered as a result of mixing normal and geothermal wat...

kBq/m
3 were obtained, respectively.
Great difference between radon concentrations in pool and spring water was considered as a result of mixing normal and geothermal water in the pool as well as the radon decay.
Estimation of an effective dose, received by the personnel in the Bizovac spa, gave the value of 0.27
mSv/y.
At the location Stubica, the transfer factor of the radon for air and thermal water in the pool was calculated, and the value of 4.9
