Introduction
Radon, a colorless and odorless radioactive gas, is a byproduct of uranium
decay in soil, rock, and water. It accumulates in enclosed spaces, particularly in
basements and ground floors, posing a significant health risk. Chronic exposure
to elevated radon concentrations has been linked to an increased risk of lung
cancer, contributing to 3-14% of cases globally, as reported by the World Health
Organization (WHO). While radon exposure has been extensively studied in
many parts of the world, research on radon levels in Uzbekistan remains limited.
This study investigates the concentration of radon in Tashkent's residential
areas over the period 2020-2024, evaluating the associated public health risks.
Main Part
The objective of this research is to conduct a thorough investigation of
radon accumulation across various residential settings in Tashkent. Radon levels
will be measured in different rooms of selected buildings, including basements,
living areas, and bedrooms. Factors such as construction materials, soil type, and
ventilation systems, all of which affect radon levels, will be closely analyzed.
The research will employ a combination of sanitary-descriptive,
instrumental, analytical, and statistical methods. High-precision radon detectors
will be used to record real-time radon concentrations. A total of 100 residential
buildings, including both high-rise apartments and single-story houses, will be
randomly selected for data collection. A comparative analysis will be performed
to understand the variation in radon levels based on building type, geographical
location, and construction materials.
The findings will highlight trends in radon distribution across Tashkent’s
residential zones, identifying areas with elevated health risks. The study will
also assess public awareness of radon-related health dangers and review the
effectiveness of current mitigation practices.
Conclusion
By pinpointing areas with high radon concentrations and understanding the
contributing environmental and construction factors, this study will provide
valuable insights for creating effective public health strategies. The results will
also inform the development of stronger building codes and improved

linked to radon exposure in Uzbekistan.
