EVALUATION OF THE RESULTS OF THE RADIATION POLLUTION OF FOOD AND FEED IN 2013–2017

Introduction. Veterinary radiological control is a type of environmental radioecological monitoring. 137Cs and 90Sr are the most biologically significant contaminants during the recovery period in case of emergency, veterinary radiological control is aimed at identification of these indicators.

The goal of the work. Analysis of data on the content of radioisotopes in food and feed. Analyze the radiation situation in the regions of Ukraine in relation to food and feed for the period from 2013 to 2017. Identify critical dose–forming food.

Materials and methods. Statistical and analytical method of veterinary reporting in radiology departments of the State Laboratories of The State Service for Food Safety and Consumer Protection of Ukraine in 2013−2017. ɤ–β –spectrometric method for determining the content of radionuclides.

Results of resesrch and discussion: 1). Zhytomyr, Volyn, Rivne, Kyiv and Chernihiv oblasts remain the most contaminated areas. 2). The frequency of detection of contaminated products decreased from 0.09% to 0.03% in the periods from 2000–2004 to 2013–2017. 3). The major role in the formation of the radiation dose in Ukraine is attributed to 137Cs (forest mushrooms and berry, bovine milk and meat from wild animals.

Conclusions and prospects for further research. The major role in the formation of the radiation dose in Ukraine is attributed to 137Cs (forest mushrooms and berry, bovine milk and meat from wild animals). Zhytomyr, Volyn, Rivne, Kyiv and Chernihiv Oblasts are the most contaminated areas. The purpose of future directions – raising the level of study and knowledge of the radiation situation.

Keywords: radiological control, dynamics of pollution, radioisotopes, food products, feed.
