5. Conclusions
Analysis of data of magnitudes of ecological Grey-equivalent for chemical toxicants and their “dose-effect” dependencies allow to conclude that in case the efficiency of toxic effect of chemical agents is less than efficiency of damaging effect of gamma-irradiation these toxicants lead to an equidosimetric evaluation represented at ecological Grey-equivalent of less than 1 (as in case with phenol). Toxic chemical agents with a toxic effect efficiency higher than the damaging effect of gammairradiation have accordingly an ecological Grey-equivalent higher than 1 (as in the case of copper).
In this article the equidosimetric evaluation of effect nuclear and chemical factors (in ecological Grey-equivalent) on cells of red algae was given. This evaluation allows to make prognosis of the comparative ecological danger of the studied toxic agents for red Black Sea algae.
