ABSTRACT

In late 2014, the International Commission on Radiological Protection issued a publication “Radiological Protection against Radon Exposure” (ICRP 126). An international expert team (France, Norway, Russia, Canada, Australia, Germany, Switzerland and China) was organized to prepare this document. With this document the Commission completed the cycle of modern recommendations on the radon issue, based on the analysis of current scientific evidence of the impact of the radioactive gas on human health. The paper presents the development of approaches of ICRP for regulating public radon exposure and also outlines modern approaches to the public protection against radon exposure in homes and at workplaces.

Key words: radon, ICRP, lung cancer, regulation, reference levels, national strategy, national action plan
