Ionizing radiation, continuously affecting a person, forms an annual individual effective dose of radiation. The value of this dose is proportional to the probability of the irradiated cancer in the future and therefore should be reduced to a minimum reasonable value. Daughter products of radon decay in indoor air make the greatest contribution to the irradiation of the population, while almost all radon enters the building from the ground base. To create a radiation-safe internal environment, it is necessary to block the ways of radon transfer through underground enclosing structures, which is possible only by means and technologies of construction. The reason for the increased concentration of radon in the air of buildings of these territories is most often the appearance of uranium-containing soils on the surface, as well as the presence of zones with active microgeodynamics. Nevertheless, as the research results show, the absence of these factors does not guarantee a favorable radon situation in the buildings of the region. This assumption follows from the results of the monitoring of radon levels in buildings in Lugansk carried out by the staff of the Research Institute of Building Physics of the RAASC, which showed a high radon hazard of buildings in one of the urban areas. At the same time, gamma-spectrometric analysis of soils from all four districts did not reveal statistically significant differences in their specific activity. All the values obtained were close to the global average and amounted to about 30 Bq/kg. The article describes the most common approaches to solving this problem and substantiates the advantages of passive radon protection technologies.
