The background of ionizing radiation, or natural background radiation (NBR), is the sum of all radiation of natural origin that interacts with atoms and molecules of the environment. It is an integral component of human daily life and is present everywhere from the level of outer space to the bowels of the Earth and the depths of the ocean. ERF includes alpha radiation (high energy), beta radiation, gamma radiation and corpuscular radiation. The intensity of the EDF depends on many factors such as location, time, weather, seasons and geophysical conditions in the area.
The background of ionizing radiation is one of the most important factors influencing people and nature. It makes it possible to control, analyze and predict the impact of environmental and man-made causes on ecological systems, human and animal health. Let's consider the factors influencing the EDF on the environment.
The influence of EDF on living organisms. Many scientists, including those in Russia, are studying the influence of radio emissions on biological systems. The radiation situation is constantly monitored, which allows us to reduce the risks of harmful effects on nature and humans. Radiation safety and control of its parameters is an important task for solving problems related to public health lighting and reducing morbidity from the radiation factor. Thus, EDF is an integral part of our daily lives.
Study of ERF: ERF plays an important role in scientific research because every day we are faced with various radiations due to human activities, natural radioactivity or artificial sources of radiation. The level of radiation affects our lives, and its change is one of the main reasons for the development of biology, chemistry and physics. At the same time, there are problems associated with controlling the level of EDF and protecting against its negative consequences. Therefore, the development and application of appropriate protective measures is a key task in the study of EDF.
