| Radon |
| Radon is a natural radioactive gas that emanates from the ground into the air. It is present everywhere in the world. It exists naturally in most rocks and soils from where it can migrate up, through the ground, into buildings. It is proved that radon can cause cancer. Scientists calculate that some hundred people each year suffer from lung cancer as a direct cause of being exposed to radon. |
| A Radon Learning Circle in Kirovograd because... |
| Kirovograd is a unique city on the territory of Ukraine as there are deposits of the uranium ore under its streets and squares. Alongside with this the level of radon in the city is also very high. The aim of the project is to research the radon level and the level of radiation in different parts of the city of Kirovograd. Visit the Radon Learning Circle Wiki |
