Study of radiation background in citrus fruits for the Guria region.
2024
As is known, the average annual duration of sunlight in the Guria region changes to 1800-2000 hours. The maximum comes in the summer months. Much of the direct radiation entering the atmosphere undergoes scattering, and as a result reaches the Earth as scattered radiation. Their intensity depends on cloudiness. It is known that the annual amount of solar radiation reaches 15-20% in Guria on clear skies, i.e. loudless days, and 40-60% on cloudy days. Radiation is emitting that comes from natural sources of cosmic and terrestrial origin, as well as artificial radionuclides. Radionuclides are nuclides whose nuclei are unstable and undergo radioactive decay. These nuclides are scattered in nature as a result of human activities. Radiation background is created by: 1. Natural radiation background 2. Technogenically modified natural background 3. Artificial radiation background. Radiation damage is damage caused by ionizing radiation. In general, ionizing radiation is called high-energy electromagnetic waves, X-rays, (same as X-rays), rays, α and β particles and neutrons. They can "take away" electrons from atoms (ionization). Ionization changes the chemical properties of damaged atoms and molecules. As a result of changes in the molecules involved in the complex and orderly structure of the cell, ionizing radiation can cause damage to the cells, which increases the risk of disease development.
