The maximum amount of radon is established in the geodynamically active zones in overlapping rocks associated with new tectonic anomalies in parent rocks. Most hazardous are areas where new tectonic activation zones and uranium ore manifestations occur relatively close to the surface. The approach towards ‘radon-prone areas’ in accordance with the European Basic Safety Standards is emphasized.</p>
