Various investigators are involved with radon research in Greece. Numerous measurements have been reported for different regions around the country. In this study we focus on the city of Loutra Edipsou, a spa centre of about 4000 inhabitants in the northern part of the island of Evia (Greece). This city is built on an area of high geothermal activity, a fact that served as a guide to our study. The aim was to estimate the dose delivered to inhabitants, the potential alpha energy exposure of bathers and spa personnel and to investigate the radon background in this area. The detectors used were of active type. Measurements are reported for dwellings, which were grouped into two different sets: one representing typical summer periods (July and August 2002) and the other typical winter periods (October and November 2002) The Potential Alpha Energy Exposure (PAEE) of the bathers during treatment lies in the range between (45 +/- 3) and (110 +/- 5) mWLM (1 WLM = 12.97 J s m(-3)). The PAEE of the working personnel lies in the range between (34 +/- 3) and (100 +/- 20) mWLM.
希腊有众多研究人员参与氡研究。该国不同地区已有大量测量报告。在本研究中，我们聚焦于埃维亚岛（希腊）北部一个约有4000居民的温泉中心——卢特拉·埃迪普索市。这座城市建在一个地热活动强烈的区域，这一事实为我们的研究提供了指引。目的是估算居民所接受的剂量、沐浴者和温泉工作人员的潜在α能量暴露，并调查该地区的氡本底。所使用的探测器为主动式。报告了对住宅的测量结果，这些住宅被分为两组不同的数据集：一组代表典型夏季时段（2002年7月和8月），另一组代表典型冬季时段（2002年10月和11月）。治疗期间沐浴者的潜在α能量暴露（PAEE）在（45±3）至（110±5）毫瓦·雷姆之间（1雷姆 = 12.97焦·秒·米⁻³）。工作人员的PAEE在（34±3）至（100±20）毫瓦·雷姆之间。
