Cs137 activity in the milk and dairy products in Serbia during 2016

Jednu od osnovnih mera za rano otkrivanje i kontrolu prisustva radioaktivnih materija u mleku i mlečnim proizvodima predstavlja stalni radijaciono-higijenski nadzor i radijaciono-higijenska ekspertiza. U radu su izneti rezultati rada Laboratorije za radijacionu higijenu - »LABRAH» pri Naučnom institutu za veterinarstvo Srbije u Beogradu. Tokom 2016. godine sprovedena je radijaciono-higijenska kontrola gamaspektrometrijskom analizom zračenja nad ukupno 349 uzoraka mleka i mlečnih proizvoda pri unutrašnjoj i graničnoj kontroli. Mala aktivnost radionuklida veštačkog porekla 137Cs pokazuje, da je efektivna doza za stanovništvo od tog radionuklida unetog ingestijom, značajno ispod preporučene godišnje granice primljene doze za pojedinca iz stanovništva (0,1 mSv/god), što znači da su ispitivani uzorci bili ispravni sa radijaciono-higijenskog aspekta.One of the basic measures for early detection and control of the presence of radioactive materials in milk and dairy products is constant radiation-hygienic monitoring and radiation-hygienic expertise. The paper presents the results of the Laboratory for Radiation Hygiene - "LABRAH" at the Scientific Institute for Veterinary Medicine in Belgrade. During 2016, radiation-hygienic control with gamma-spectrometric radiation analysis was conducted over a total of 349 samples of milk and dairy products at internal and border control. A small activity of 137Cs of artificial origin shows that the effective dose for the population from this radionuclide introduced by ingestion is significantly below the recommended annual dose limit for the individual from the population (0.1 mSv/year), which means that tested samples were correct from the radiation-hygienic aspect
