RESEARCH OF RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINATIONS OF THE BALTIC SEA WITHIN THE HELCOM PROGRAMS

摘要

For the countries surrounding the Baltic Sea, the problems connected to radioactive contamination of this closed sea of the Northern Europe with its the lowest ability for self-cleaning are very urgent. For 80 millions populations from 9 countries inhabiting the Baltic coast, the questions of the Baltic ecology have paramount social and economic importance. And frequently these problems besides practical and scientific importance have the expressed social - political shadow, especially after Chernobyl NPP accident. Now the Baltic Sea concerns, alongside with the Irish Sea and the Black Sea, to the three the most "polluted" (by technogenic radioactive pollution) seas of the world. Within the framework of the Intergovernmental Agreement of the member-states of the Helsinki Convention the wide, public and intensive international cooperation of Russia with the states of Northern and Central Europe for solution of an ecological problem, in particular, by permanent monitoring of radioactive pollution of the Baltic marine environments is developed.
