Abstract
The artilcle presents comments on the manuscript by A.S. Vasiliev et al. “A review of approaches to assessment of potential radon hazard of land plots”. The manuscript does not fully reflect some features of the existing regulations for assessment of potential radon hazard of territories. In addition, important results of modern research in the field have not been considered, and single science-based approach in Russia to assess the potential radon hazard of building sites, which has been implemented in practice and tested in the industry of engineering and environmental surveys, is ignored.
