Radon is an inert gas that is very dangerous to humans and exists in varying proportions in soil, air and various water sources. Additionally, radon gas has a shorter lifespan but poses a greater public health risk. Humans are good users of water, whether through food, drinking water, vegetables, showering or washing dishes, but we don't yet have a good understanding of the dangers of radon gas and we need to do more research because it is a major one of the water sources. Factors responsible for various cancers such as lung cancer and gastric cancer. This review uses different data from a number of studies in different countries (Brazil, Sudan, India, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Qatar) that use RAD7 detectors due to their higher accuracy and faster detection measurements. This study found that Brazil's average radon level is high (36.1 Bq/L), which is higher than the world drinking water standard value (103 Bq/L). There are many influencing factors in each country, and the issue of low radon concentrations in water is controversial.

Radon is a noble gas that has a high risk to the human body, and existence at various rates in soil, air and different source of water. Moreover, radon has a short lifetime but it can produce more risk to public health. Humans are good users of water by food, drinking water, vegetable, shower and dishwashing, however, we do have not good knowledge about the risk of radon, and we need to do more research because it’s one of the main factors to various types of cancer such as lung and stomach cancer. This review used different data in some research in different countries (Romania, Chania, Brazil, Sudan, India, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen) in (2012-2020) with the help of the RAD7 detector because it has higher resolution and is faster in measurement. In current review, higher average reading of radon was found in Nigeria, its reading was (36.1 Bq/L) which was more than the standard value in the world for drinking water (11.1 Bq/L). In any country there are so many factors to high and low concentration of radon in drinking water which are discussed and explained in this review.
