Hygienic assessment of 14C concentration in biosphere
Creators
Description
Violation of radiocarbon cycle existent on the Earth as a result of anthropogenic contamination of the environment due to nuclear-explosions and enterprises of nuclear power engineering is reviewed. Increase of 14C concentration in the atmosphere, plants and animals caused proportional increase of its content in human organisms. Attention is paid to 14C intake and metabolism processes of radiocarbon compounds in human and animal (rats) organisms. A conclusion is drawn on insignificant role of artificial 14C in population exposure as compared to other anthropogenic sources though certain hazard of delayed stochastic, somatic and genetic effects is marked. Necessity for further investigations concerting transmutation effect of 14C is stressed
