Objective: to determine correlative relations between the indoor volume activity of radon and the parameter defining the content and nature of radon in rocks. Material and methods. The results of indoor volume activity in rural settlements of Gomel and Mogilev regions measured by specialists of Scientific and Research Institute of Industrial and Marine Medicine (Saint Petersburg) in 1992, the exposure doze power maps before the Chernobyl Disaster made by specialists of the Republican Unitary Enterprise «Belgeology» over 1969-1985, and the geologist rocks maps with various uranium content were used as the basis for radon risk mapping. Results and conclusion. We have proposed the complex radon factor that may be calculated as the relative content of uranium in rocks multiplied by the relative value of rock penetration. The regression dependence of volume activity on the complex radon value taken on average in Gomel and Mogilev regions has essentially high correlative coefficient - 0.76. Such correlation is enough to use this parameter based on the measurements of rock radon characteristics in Gomel and Mogilev regions for radon risk mapping.
