Variation in ozone concentration and volumetric activities of radon progeny on the Curonian Spit

A study on the Curonian Spit identified a significant relationship between ozone concentration and radon progeny activity, revealing that wind direction plays a crucial role in their variation. During an extreme weather event in summer, ground-level ozone concentrations exceeded the health threshold of 120 µg m−3, highlighting the potential negative impact on human health. The research employed simultaneous measurements to track these variations, providing insights into atmospheric dynamics and the influence of breeze phenomena in this unique coastal environment.
