In the everyday environment, Finns suffer the most health damage from natural radiation - radon at workplaces, at home and in leisure apartments, and from UV radiation, which must be protected from with clothes, shade and cream.
The European research project MetroPOEM, which focused on improving the measurement and traceability of both radioactive and non-radioactive environmental pollutants, has successfully achieved its goals.
The Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK) has sent a letter to workplaces in the municipalities of Pukkila, Hausjärvi, Mäntsälä, Orimattila and Miehikkälä requesting information on the radon levels in their workspaces.
