Abstract
The problem of radio-ecological monitoring of the environment has become particularly topical lately. This is due to the intensive development of the radio-chemical technologies, processing and burial of the waste of nuclear explosions for military and peaceful purposes and accident situations. Various types of radiation can strengthen non-radiation factors of danger. The radioecological situation on the territory of the Udmurt Republic has not been studied deeply enough. The absence of the necessary information increases the probability of the ‘psychogenic effect’, the negative attitude to the construction of facilities for disposal of various types of waste and, in particular, to the facilities for chemical weapon destruction. This contribution shows the necessity of organization on the territory of the Udmurt Republic of not only a system of chemical monitoring of the environment, but also of a complex of radio-ecological investigations, training courses for the population, and provision for access to information on the chemical and radiation situation to the public.
