ON ESTIMATION OF THE EFFICIENT OF PREVENTIVE CONTROL UNDER POPULATION RADIATION PROTECTION PROVIDING IN THE CASE OF EXPOSURE FROM NATURAL IONIZING IRRADIATION SOURCES

Abstract

An analysis is presented of the joint activities of the Institute and State Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision bodies aimed on the city citizens' dose from natural exposure decreasing in the term of the last decade. Estimation of the dynamics of Saint-Petersburg citizens' dose from natural exposure sources for the mentioned period is obtained basing on the generalization of the data from radiation-hygienic passports and forms of Federal statistic supervision № 4-DOS. Positive dynamics of the decreasing of city citizens dose from natural exposure sources is demonstrated, which could be considered as unbiased criteria of the efficiency of Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision bodies activities aimed on population radiation protection providing.
