Низькофоновий гамма-спектрометричний моніторинг ґрунтів Національного природного парку „Зачарований край”

Abstract

Specific activity of naturally-composed gamma-active components of soil samples from the National Natural Park „Zacharovany kray” is determined (40K and radio nuclides of 238Th, and 238U series). It is also indicated that the content of radio nuclides in the soil samples is caused by natural geochemical processes. The results of the analysis conducted show the absence of pollution caused by technological activities of people by natural and synthetic radio nuclides in the areas where the samples were taken which indicates that they are ecologically pure. Received data can be used for passportization of soils which will allow the evaluation of the state of soils from approximate areas based on their content of gamma-active radio nuclides.
