Abstract
. The paper presents the results of assessing the level of radon-222 and radon-220 in various types of premises in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic. The factors influencing its concentration have been determined. Exposure to high concentrations of radon is associated with an increased risk of lung cancer, so it is important to systematically measure indoor radon levels and take appropriate measures to reduce it. Research results show that indoor radon levels can vary significantly depending on factors such as soil type, degree of building insulation, availability of ventilation systems, etc. Cases of exceeding recommended radon standards in certain rooms have been found, which underlines the need for systematic monitoring and measures to ensure the safety of the air environment inside buildings.
