Abstract
The issues of environmental safety of oil-bearing regions are highlighted. Oil and strata waters contain, along with chemical elements, radionuclides, removal of which oil to the Earth's surface occurs during oil and gas production. The radioactivity of rocks of the aluminosilicate type was investigated. It has been determined that the radioactivity of clay rocks from the oil-bearing Apsheron region is several times higher than the radioactivity of rocks from other deposits of our republic. It was noted that radioactivity of the soil cover, which is borderline between the lithosphere, atmosphere and hydrosphere, directly affects terrestrial vegetation and fauna
Highlights
Investigating the issues of radiation and ecological safety of natural energy carriers indicates that they pose a danger to human health, life duration [1–3]
It is known the that value of radioactivity along oil, gas and strata waters is mainly determined by the radionuclides such as thorium-232, radium226 and potassium-40 and the dangers to living organisms belong to the families of radium and end radionuclides [6]
In addition strata and oil waters contented various cations belonging to the series H+ > Ba2+ >Sr2+ > Ca2+ > K+ > Na+ create the circumstance for the formation of radioactivity in waters, they are characterized by a great number of radioactive elements [8–10]
Summary
Investigating the issues of radiation and ecological safety of natural energy carriers indicates that they pose a danger to human health, life duration [1–3]. It is known the that value of radioactivity along oil, gas and strata waters is mainly determined by the radionuclides such as thorium-232, radium226 and potassium-40 and the dangers to living organisms belong to the families of radium and end radionuclides (uranium 238, thorium-232, potassium-40) [6]. The radioactivity of clay rocks in the oil-bearing region of the Apsheron Peninsula has not been studied previously, view of scientific and practical interest the studying radioactivity degree of clay rocks of oil fields on Apsheron peninsula has emerged. This area of our republic is one of the AZERBAIJAN CHEMICAL JOURNAL No 1 2022. E.E.JABAROV most polluted, deviation from environmental standards [14–16]
