Abstract: A study was made of the radiation background of premises of economic and household purposes under various conditions. According to the data obtained, a vertical distribution of the exposure rate of premises was revealed; the influence of external factors on its value was established. Dependences were obtained and features of radiation background changes in the rooms under study were revealed. The contribution of finishing materials to the increase in the exposure rate was found. Analysis of tap water allows us to speak of the contribution of its temperature and way of supplying to the exposure rate value because the gotten values differ by 1.5 times.

Keywords: radiation, radiation background, exposure rate, radon, construction materials, radon in water.
