Description / Table of Contents:
The problems of the contamination of different environments of the Russian Arctic Seas by technogenic radionuclides are considered in this book. The sources of the contamination, the environment of the accumulation of the radionuclides, the processes of their dynamic, the schemes of their distribution in the atmosphere, water column, ice, sediments and biota are estimated. The data of the radionuclides affect on the health of the population of the Arctic coast are adduced, some practical measures for minimization of the negative influence of the cold war epoch's activity on ecological conditions of the Russian Arctic Seas are proposed. The book will be interested for the Arctic explorers, the specialists in the radioactive contamination of the ocean and for the general public.
