[A decade after Chernobyl: the results of research on radioecology].
The paper presents the general results from the 10-year (1986-1996) studies on radioecology and radiobiology conducted in the region affected by radiation after the accident at the Chernobyl NPP. The regularities of radionuclide migration along the trophic chains, as well as effect of ionising radiation on biota in its habitat are described. The protective measures are reported aimed at mitigating consequences of the accident for the environment. The paper also presents the main findings of studies on agricultural radioecology with taking into account the importance of radionuclide turnover in agrosphere and implementation of countermeasures in the agro-industrial production.
