초록

군부대에서의 라돈 측정은 군인들의 건강과 안전을 도모하기 위해 필요하며, 국민의 건강과 안전 역시 보호하기 위해 라돈 노출의 위험을 정확하게 평가하고 필요한 조치를 위하는 것이 중요하다. 우리도 라돈 저감을 위한 온전한 규정과 지침서를 제공하고 저감 활동에 나서야 한다. 하지만 이에 앞서 가장 중요한 것은 측정의 정확성이다. 제대로 된 측정이 이루어지지 않으면 측정 이후의 모든 수행 작업에 오류가 있을 수 있다. 정확한 측정값을 얻은 후에야 라돈 노출을 줄이는 대책을 논의하고 유의미한 라돈 저감 정책을 시행할 수 있을 것이다.

Abstract

Radon measurement in military installations is essential for the health and safety of soldiers and has broader implications for public health and safety. Accurate measurement is paramount as it forms the foundation for effective radon exposure assessment and mitigation efforts. Providing clear regulations and guidelines for radon reduction is crucial, but precision in measurement is the key to informing successful strategies and policies for reducing radon exposure both within the military and in the general population.
