The implementation of the urinalysis method for <sup>210</sup>Po monitoring of employees in the selected industrial sector operating with NORMs in Poland

OBJECTIVES: Po contamination is a potential risk. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Po activity in urine involved radiochemical preparation of 24-hour urine samples followed by spontaneous deposition of polonium on a silver disc and measurement by α spectrometry. The method was applied to urine samples analyzed as part of the validation process as well as to urine samples collected by industrial workers. RESULTS: Po), on average at a level >70%. CONCLUSIONS: Po at positions directly related to the technological process was higher than at other positions, however committed effective doses were on the safe level.
