[Monitoring of the radioecological situation of Adjara seacoast].
One of the most important problems of the modern science is the study of biological, physiological and pathological influence of the radiation background on the surrounding environment. The disaster in the Chernobyl Atomic Power Station vitalized and sharpened the problem, as far as after the accident the Black Sea coast was exposed to the pollution. The Radiation background of Adjara seacoast has been studied in Georgia during the period of 1997 to 2002. The level of the radiation background in open areas lowered from 95 hgy/h to 93 hgy/h. The indicators of indoor radiation background have not been essentially changed--110 hgy/h. The average annual dose of irradiation of the population insignificantly lowered from 0,94 mZv/y to 0,937 mZv/y.
