Indoor radon and its progeny exposure poses a significant threat to the population collective health of most countries in the world. Modern construction technologies make it possible to regulate the radon entry from the soil within a wide range, but at present there is no universal approach to ensuring the radon safety of buildings. This situation is partly explained by the multifactorial nature of the process of the radon situation formation in the lower floor premises, which does not allow to unambiguously establishing the dominant mechanism of radon entry. The article discusses technologies for ensuring the radon safety of buildings in Russia and the United States, shows their fundamental differences, advantages and disadvantages.
