Larionov Alexey Viktorovich

This article provides an analysis of the review of modern works on the assessment of the risk to human health of long exposure to radon in the home. A total of 37 sources published within the last 5 years and meeting the criteria were analyzed. It was noted that there is strong evidence in favor of the dependence of resident radon irradiation and its DPR and the risk of cancer pathology. The calculated risk models indicate the possibility of a significant reduction in social losses from radon-induced diseases through the implementation of remediation programs for residential premises characterized by increased radon levels.
