 note = {Indoor radon is a major hazard to human health, being the second cause of lung cancer after smoking. Therefore, radon research in Asia has been intensified recently due to growing awareness of the harm that radon poses. 
Analysis of collected literature data showed that in Asia-Oceania some regions have – or believe to have - little indoor radon problem due to climate and low-Rn ground. It can be also concluded that every country has its own approach, techniques and protocols. Data are not harmonized within the region, however, measurement techniques were compared by regional intercomparisons exercises. 
In Europe, the EURATOM Basic Safety Standards published in 2013 include binding requirements (to be transposed in national legislations) on protection against indoor radon exposure, at work and at home, and on the manufacture and use of building materials. That is why many radon projects are underway in Europe. Among achievements of European radon research is the European radon map as part of the European Atlas of Natural Radiation, created by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission. Another one is the EU funded Metro Radon project, devoted to QA in the chain from radon measurement to delineation of radon priority areas.
The situation is different with studies about the usability of radon as tracer or possible predictor of tectonic phenomena, as some countries are located in seismically active zones, like India, Taiwan, China, Japan, etc. However, India and Taiwan are globally leaders in this research together with Italy, another seismically affected country.  
We give an overview of radon-related surveying and research activities in the South and East Asian region. 
We also discuss whether experiences made in radon studies and policy in Europe can be relevant to the Asia-Oceania region., ＂European Radon Week 2020＂における発表},
