“…Although it is customary to talk about radon exposure to, its contribution to the internal human exposure dose does not exceed 2%, the remaining 98% form short-lived progeny: polonium-218, lead-214 and bismuth-214 for radon-222; lead-212 and bismuth-212 for radon-220. However, radon progeny, being heavy metals, is practically unable to migrate in the environment, while gaseous radon can entry into buildings from a depth of up to 10 m [4].…”

The paper is devoted to the study of the regularities of the radon situation formation in modern multi-storey buildings at the design stage. Calculation schemes for radon entry into the premises of the lower and upper floors are constructed, a method for determination of radon concentration in the building after its erection is proposed. It is based on a joint analysis of the soil base physical and mechanical characteristics of and the design features of the underground shell of the building. According to the calculations results, a significant role of air exchange in the formation of a favorable radon situation in the building was noted.
