Abstract: The article presents a comparison of levels radon volume activity with values of maximum permissible concentration, and determination of annual effective doses from radon and its decay daughter products. In all areas of Gomel region shows small values of equivalent equilibrium volume activity of radon (an average of 21 Bq/m3) compared with standard maximum allowable concentration (100 Bq/m3 in projected and 200 Bq/m3 in existing buildings). In 2,9% of dwellings equivalent equilibrium volume activity of radon more than 100 Bq/m3. On average in the Gomel region recorded values effective doses of radon and its decay daughter products about 0,8 mSv for the ICRP models and 1,4 mSv for models UNSCEAR.

Key words: : radon, volume activity, equivalent equilibrium volume activity, the effective dose, Gomel region.
