Abstract
As a result of performed synchronous measurements of radon volumetric activity, concentration and subviscosity of aeroions, optimum levels of radon concentrations for radonotherapy have been revealed, it has been established that increase of radon volumetric activity leads to generation of aeroions above the maximum permissible concentration, i.e. aggravation of pathogenic action of radon by exposure of aeroions. The studies have shown that certain volumetric activity of radon in the subsoil air leads to changes in electrical conductivity of rocks and the surface layer of the atmosphere, resulting in variations of electromagnetic field and atmospheric electricity spatially confined to radon anomalies, which are 3-5 times higher than the background values and change the informational effect of electromagnetic fields on human beings.
