The article investigates the problems of geoecological impact of radon irradiation on human life within the agglomeration. The World Health Organization considers radon to be an element with latent carcinogenic properties. Currently, determining radon hazards at the regional level is a complex problem. Regional radon monitoring has not developed a geo-ecological strategy for assessing the complex impact of the radon hazard of residential premises. The statistical materials of Rospotrebnadzor and experimental geophysical researches of radon content in inhabited rooms and soil air are used. The purpose of the research is the development of geoecological approach for estimation of radon hazard of the dwelling premises surveyed in the territory of Voronezh and Voronezh region. The collected bank of information about radon concentration in the dwelling premises was subjected to statistical analysis on the basis of which the degree of their radon protection was found out.

Key words: radon, radon hazard, residential air environment, gamma-background, geoecological analysis, radon level, agglomeration
