Radioecological monitoring is the process of monitoring and assessing the levels of radioactive substances in the environment, including air, water, soil, and biota. This type of monitoring helps to track and evaluate the impact of human activities such as nuclear power plants, mining, and other sources of radioactive contamination on the environment and public health.
Radioecological monitoring is conducted through various methods such as collecting samples of air, water, soil, and biota from specific locations, analyzing these samples in specialized laboratories for radioactive isotopes, and interpreting the data to assess the environmental impact. Continuous monitoring stations and networks are also set up to track the levels of radioactivity in real-time.
Overall, radioecological monitoring plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of the environment and public health in areas where radioactive substances are present.
