Abstract
Information about the radiation conditions in the Moscow region in 1957–2005 is presented. It is shown that the total activity of the β-emitting radionuclides, 90Sr and 137Cs, in atmospheric air, fallout, and food products changes. These data are used to estimate the total individual irradiation dose to the public, which does not exceed 0.2 mSv/yr. This is much less than the dose limit (1 mSv/yr) established in NRB-99. It is concluded that the radiation conditions in the Moscow region are satisfactory in the period studied.
