Main components a of green building are environment and "healthy" building materials. They can negatively or positively influence the lives and health of people.
    Radon and thoron contribute to over 50 % of natural background radiation. It is therefore necessary to monitor radon levels in homes to ensure public health through the use of appropriate building materials and ventilation measures. Exceeding the maximum permissible effective dose to the population is 1 mSv per year above natural background radiation (2.4 mSv) should be avouded.
