Abstract

This paper presents a contemporary view on the issue of public exposure to radon and its progenies, reflects the role ofinternational organizations in shaping the scientific and methodological aspects of regulation of public radiological protection against inert radioactive gas. Proposals for improving the regulatory issues concerning public protection against radon are considered.
