摘要

背景:氡是一种常见的放射性物质,被列为人类1类致癌物质。因此,控制住宅和工作场所的氡暴露非常重要。方法:对欧洲、北美和亚洲32个国家的氡指南进行了审查,以确定合理的氡暴露标准,从而最大限度地降低住宅、办公室和工作场所的氡风险。暴露标准分为住宅和办公室人员的标准,建筑材料可能会导致氡暴露,以及工业场所工人暴露于氡的标准,他们直接处理含有放射性物质的产品,如原材料和加工副产品。结果:检查结果显示,在韩国,住宅的咨询参考水平(ARL)设定为148 Bq/m。此外,地铁站、图书馆、医疗机构和室内停车场都设置了ARL,但没有氡暴露标准来保护制造厂、官员和其他工作场所的工人。在其他国家,住宅和公共设施的ARL或强制性参考水平(MRL)通常在148-400 Bq/m之间,工作场所的ARL通常在200-1000 Bq/m。结论:建议住宅和工作场所使用148 Bq/m,这是美国环境保护局制定的标准。对于工作场所,建议将暴露标准设定在400 Bq/m(大多数欧盟成员国采用的水平)和1000 Bq/m3(国际辐射防护委员会建议的参考水平)之间。

Rational establishment of radon exposure standards for dwellings and workplaces
Background: Radon is a normally occurring radioactive material, which is designated as a class 1 human carcinogen. Therefore, it is important to control radon exposure in dwellings and workplaces. Methods: The radon guidelines of 32 countries across Europe, North America, and Asia were examined to determine rational radon exposure standards for minimizing radon risk in dwellings, offices, and workplaces. The exposure standards were classified as standards for people in dwellings and offices, where radon exposure can occur through construction materials, and standards for workers exposed to radon at industrial sites, where they directly handle products containing radioactive matter such as raw materials and by-products from processing. Results: The examination results showed that in South Korea, the advisory reference level (ARL) for dwellings is set to 148 Bq/m. Moreover, ARLs are set for subway stations, libraries, medical institutions, and indoor parking lots, but there are no radon exposure standards to protect workers in manufacturing sites, officers, and other workplaces. In other countries, the ARL or the mandatory reference level (MRL) are usually regulated between 148–400 Bq/m for dwellings and public-use facilities, and between 200–1,000 Bq/m for workplaces. Conclusion: It is recommended to use 148 Bq/m, which is the standard set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, for dwellings and workplaces. For workplaces, it is recommended to set the exposure standard between 400 Bq/m, which is the level adopted in most European Union member countries, and 1,000 Bq/m3, which is the reference level recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection.
