The radionuclide composition of the atmospheric precipitations (rain and snow) fell out on the territory of the South of the Western Siberia in 2016-2017 was studied. It is shown that, the maximum of deposition of 7Be and 210Pb were observed in a foothill zone (618 and 171 Bq/m2), the minimum in the Alpine zone (104 and 27 Bq/m2), for the forest-steppe zone these values are 237-340 Bq/m2 and 73-93 Bq/m2. Deposition density of 137Cs in comparison with 210Pb and 7Be is small and does not exceed 1 Bq/m2. Average values of total specific activities of 210Pb and 7Be in rain waters are 242 and 2434 mBq/l, in the snowmelt 506 and 1611 mBq/l. 7Be/210Pb activity ratio in rain waters more than three times higher, than in snowmelt: 10,1 to 3,2. The highest values of 7Be/210Pb activity ratios are observed in the finest fraction (<0.45 µm) of the suspended matter: 19 in rain and 10 in snowmelt waters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
