The article presents the results of comprehensive radiation ecological studies of the territory of Tyumen which consisted of the study of the content of natural (40K, 226Ra, 232Th) and man-made (137Cs, 90Sr) radionuclides in the surface layer of soils, the measurement of radon flux density from the ground and the equivalent dose rate of gamma radiation. The content of natural and man-made radionuclides, radon flux density from the soil surface, equivalent dose rate of gamma-radiation do not exceed the current standards of radiation safety. The data obtained can be used for scientific as well as production purposes in the field of radiation and environmental monitoring of urbanized areas.
Keywords: equivalent dose rate of gamma radiation, man-made radionuclides, natural radionuclides, radon flux density, Tyumen
