The role of waterpath in forming the effective irradiation doses for public living in Dnieper areas
- Ukrainian State Medical Center of the Environmental Health, Kiev (Ukraine)
The water reservoirs of the Dnieper aqueous system, which is the main source of the water supply in Ukraine, have been contaminated due to the Chernobyl accident. As a result, there is an urgent need to study radionuclide migration through ecological chains to humans. The goal of these studies is to monitor radioactive contamination in the water reservoirs of the Dnieper aqueous system, as well as to define the role of water path ways in forming the effective irradiation doses for the human population after the Chernobyl accident. The main tasks of this work are the following: to study the distribution and migration of cesium and strontium through an ecological chain; and to assess the effective equivalent doses (EED) of population irradiation due to radiocesium intake, as a result of the consumption of fish and water from the basins of the Dnieper aqueous system.
