The highest levels of natural radiation are observed in areas resting on rocks containing uranium and radium. Named after Professor PV, St. socialbites.ca was told by the leading researcher of the dosimetry laboratory of natural resources of the St. Petersburg Research Institute of Radiation Hygiene. Ramzaeva” Rospotrebnadzor Tatyana Kormanovskaya.
“For example, Karelia is a “granite republic”, certain districts of the Leningrad region, for example, the Vyborg district. Wells with high natural radionuclide content are usually found there. The Altai Republic is a mountainous region, the soil has a very high natural radon content. The city of Baley in the Trans-Baikal Territory stands on a tectonic fault from which monocyte sand was mined. Balei’s buildings contain high radon and there is even a program to resettle the entire town. Part of the city has already moved.
In 2021, sources with an excess of radon were identified in the Magadan and Chelyabinsk regions. About 10 years ago there was a problem in the Tver region, but there was a problem not with the water itself, but with the filters through which the water passed: because the filtration material was not replaced on time, it accumulated a lot of radionuclides.
