ACTUAL CONDITION OF RADIOACTIVELY POLLUTED AGRICULTURAL LANDS OF POLISSIA ZONE, ZHYTOMYR REGION

Abstract

The levels of radioactive pollution in Ukraine caused by Chernobyl accident, demand running permanent monitoring of agricultural lands on the subject of radionuclides’ migration to the food. In the article there are results of contemporary condition study of agricultural lands in two districts, the territory of which were polluted with the highest levels among all the districts of Zhytomyr region. The research took place during 2011-2016 and has been done by Zhytomyr branch of Ukrainian Soils Protection Institute. The results of the research showed absence of soils polluted with density higher than 555 kBq/m2 of137Cs and 111 kBq/m2 of 90Sr. Nevertheless, in some districts levels of pollution are still abnormal, though the average levels of pollution have got lower during time after accident. In average in the region for agricultural lands they are 13-71 kBq/m2 of 137Cs (depending on district) and 0.9-3.5 kBq/m2 of 90Sr. In the future researches it would be reasonable to pay more attention to more complex study of the territory including not only currently used agricultural lands but also those which are temporarily out of usage.
