AbstractAbstract
[en] The paper presents results of 7Be and 210Pb concentration measurements in terrestrial and atmospheric samples of Kaiga region. The measurements were performed by gamma spectrometry using a 50% relative efficiency p-type broad energy band HPGe detector. The concentrations of 7Be and 210Pb in air varied in the ranges of 0.8-5.9 mBq m-3 and 0.6-4.7 mBq m-3 respectively. The soil and vegetation samples showed significant activity concentrations of these naturally occurring radionuclides, 7Be activity in plants varied in the range of <1.13- 126.8 Bq kg-1 and that of 210Pb in the range of <0.9-184.6 Bq kg-1.
