INFLUENCE OF NATURAL ATMOSPHERIC FACTORS ON RADON EMISSION

Abstract

In recent decades, the problem of exceeding the critical level of radon gas concentration has become very urgent. According to some estimates, radon (222Rn) and its decay products can make up 50-70% of the radiation dose received by the population from all natural sources of radiation. One of the factors that makes radon gas dangerous is that it leaks through cracks and crevices in foundations, accumulates in living spaces, and enters the human body through inhalation. It is believed that 10-14% of all lung cancer cases are due to elevated radon concentrations in the air of residential buildings (Kiselev S.M., 2016). Radon emission is more pronounced in mountainous and seismically active regions of the planet, and due to this property, it is used as a criterion for warning about earthquakes in many seismically active countries of the world. The article presents a project for a radioecological station that measures radon levels in an automated mode. In addition, abnormal changes in the concentration of Rn gas in underground waters (in the “Surakhany” and “Shikhov-2” wells) were observed on the eve of earthquakes.
