Abstract

Objective: determination of the correlative relation between the indoor volume radon activity in buildings and some factors related to radon contents in soils and geological stones. Materials and methods. The results of the indoor volume activity measurements in the rural settlements of Gomel and Mogilev regions, the dose rate power maps and the geologist rocks maps with various uranium contents are foundation for the radon risk mapping. Results and discussion. We have suggested the complex radon parameter that may be calculated as multiplication of the dose rate on the relative rock uranium content factors and on the relative rock penetration factors. The regression dependence of the radon volume activities on the complex radon factor was taken as average in Gomel and Mogilev regions and has essentially high correlation coefficient - 0.76. This degree of correlation is enough to use this complex radon factor calculated on the measured rock radon characteristics for the territories of Gomel and Mogilev regions for the radon risk mapping to define any radon danger sections. This method may be used for the radon potential mapping of the whole territory of Belarus.
