Abstract

Behavior of caesium-137 as a artificial radionuclide in an environment represents interest for an estimation of radioactive pollution of areas. Collecting in various compartments of ecosystem, radionuclide creates additional doze on the population living in polluted territory. It is important to know in what degree caesium is fixed by organic-mineral substances of soil that limits its receipt on food chains in an human organism. The predict of behavior of caesium-137 in soils function of granulometry allows estimating radioecological situation in observed areas and developing recommendations on effective depollution of soil.
