Abstract
A study has been undertaken of radon levels in an abandoned metalliferous mine in South-West England. Measurements have been taken in Gunnislake Old Adit using a variety of techniques. Radon gas levels of between 30,000Bq m-3 and 69,000Bq m-3 have been noted in this mine, associated with radon progeny levels of between 2.6 and 4.8 working levels. These radon levels pose a health risk for regular visitors to such mines.
