Radioactivity measurements of 61 therapeutic peat mud samples from the Podsokoldy deposits, near Suprasl, were performed using gamma spectrometry. The authors identified the presence of 13 isotopes with the arithmetic mean of activity (in Bq kg): Cs-7, K-24, Tl-1, Bi-3, Pb-2, Ac-2, Pb-33, Bi-11, Pb-11, Ra-53, Th-47. The effective dose obtained during treatment with 15 peat mud baths (lasting 30 min) was 0.078 μSv. Use of peat mud compresses in the same number and period of exposure to the entire body surface caused absorption of a dose of 0.153 μSv. The authors discuss the probability of tissue radiation from isotopes present in the peat mud. In light of radiobiological knowledge, the therapeutic effect of ionizing radiation during peat mud therapy appears to be very unlikely.
对来自 Suprasl 附近 Podsokoldy 矿床的 61 种治疗性泥煤样本进行了放射性测量，使用了伽马谱仪。作者鉴定出 13 种同位素的存在，其活度的算术平均值（单位为 Bq kg）为：Cs-7、K-24、Tl-1、Bi-3、Pb-2、Ac-2、Pb-33、Bi-11、Pb-11、Ra-53、Th-47。在接受 15 次泥煤浴（每次 30 分钟）治疗期间获得的有效剂量为 0.078 μSv。使用相同数量和暴露于整个身体表面的泥煤压缩，吸收剂量为 0.153 μSv。作者讨论了存在于泥煤中的同位素对组织辐射的可能性。根据放射生物学知识，泥煤治疗期间电离辐射的治疗效果似乎极不可能。
