  Abstract

Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless, naturally radioactive gas with a half-life of 3.82 days. Radon is one of the leading causes of lung cancer as defined by the World Health Organization(WHO). The International Agency for Research on Cancer(IARC) classifies it as a first-class carcinogen. Radon comes from rocks such as granite and parean, soil, and building materials containing uranium or radium. When groundwater flows around rocks containing uranium or radium, radon and dissolve into groundwater in rocks or soil. With regard to the dangers of uranium, radium, and radon, countries are regulating or calling attention to their standards or recommendations in drinking water. The National Institute of Environmental Research surveyed 4,415 sites of underground water pipes for private consumption by individual self-sufficiency areas in 2022. As a results the investigation, the number of tube wells exceeding the radon acceptance limit of 148(Bq/L) was found to be 614 and 13.9%. This paper proposes a radon monitoring system that can reduce radon in small water supply facilities and measure radon in real time for safe water supply.
