Abstract :
Data of geomagnetic and radon variations have been analyzed on the basis of underground measurements under nearly constant temperature and humidity. The correlation was established and it was shown that in order to evaluate discrete concentrations of radon and its biological applications, it is necessary to take into account its temporary function
