Abstract
Research was carried out in Zhytomyr region as a result of radiological control of non-wood forest production: 137Cs specific activity was measured in 351 samples including fresh edible mushrooms – 50 samples; air-dry edible mushrooms – 67; fresh berries – 90 (bilberry – 68, cowberry – 5, cranberry – 18); air-dry bilberries – 49; fresh apples– 19; wild medicinal plants – 45; birch juice – 30 samples. It was found that rows of forestry enterprises according with average 137Cs content in majority of kind of non-wood production are very similar to those builded according with density of ground deposition of this radionuclide. It was shown that 137Cs content in a part of samples of non-wood production exceeded state permissible levels: 6,7 % of samples of fresh berries, 4,5 % – air-dry bilberry, 21,3% – fresh edible mushrooms, 19% air-dry edible mushrooms, 3% – wild medicinal plants.
