The Institute of Radiobiology offers services to consumers in the development of recommendations for the use of wood ash in personal subsidiary plots on the territory contaminated with radionuclides under an outsourcing agreement and is looking for partners interested in a distribution services agreement.

The basic recommendations reflect data on changes in the density of soil contamination with radionuclides when ash with different specific activity of radionuclides is applied, the effect of ash on the transfer of radionuclides into vegetable crops and agrochemical indicators of soil. Quantitative parameters of 137Cs and 90Sr accumulation by vegetable crops (onions, carrots, cabbage) when cultivated on soddy-podzolic soil in the territory of radioactive contamination, information on the handling of ash formed in household plots during the combustion of wood fuel are presented.

The recommendations are intended for residents of settlements using local wood fuel for heating, cooking and other purposes, and using the resulting ash in personal subsidiary plots and can be finalized in accordance with customer requirements.

Innovative research methods. Highly qualified staff.

The State Scientific Institution "Institute of Radiobiology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus" carries out its scientific and scientific-organizational activities in accordance with the main areas of scientific research:

– assessment and forecast of long-term medical and biological consequences of the action of ionizing radiation;
– study of the combined effect of radiation and non-radiation factors on the body, including electromagnetic radiation, development of protective measures;
– assessment of the impact of radioactive contamination on the environment, plants, and animals, development of methods for safe environmental management, radioecological monitoring;
– study of the processes of inclusion of radionuclides in food chains under conditions of radioactive contamination, including transuranium elements, their intake and accumulation in the body and the formation of radiation doses, development of methods for influencing these processes in order to reduce negative consequences.

The priority areas of scientific and technical activity and fundamental and applied scientific research are:

- "Medicine and Pharmacy": the creation of new technologies for the prevention of diseases based on the use of biologically active additives and other medicines;
- "Ecology and rational nature management": monitoring and forecasting the state of the environment, rehabilitation of radioactively contaminated lands;
- "Development of new therapeutic, diagnostic, preventive and rehabilitation technologies, medical devices and products, medicinal and immunobiological preparations, cellular and molecular biological technologies": mechanisms of adaptation of the human body to the action of environmental factors, including the effects of ionizing radiation;
– “Ecological safety, environmental protection, minerals and subsoil of Belarus, efficient use and renewal of natural resources, prevention and elimination of consequences of emergency situations”: protective measures to overcome the remote radioecological consequences of the Chernobyl disaster.
- study of the mechanisms of the biological action of low doses of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation and the influence that has developed in the regions of the republic, the environmental situation on living organisms;
- study of patterns of behavior of pollutants and radionuclides in ecosystems, their inclusion in trophic chains and accumulation in the body;
- development of ways and means to reduce the negative impact of environmental factors on human health.

International cooperation agreements are being implemented with specialized organizations of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the State of Japan, the People's Republic of China, the Kingdom of Sweden, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of India, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Republic of Korea, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Serbia, the Russian Federation, Ukraine, the Federal Republic of Germany, the French Republic , Czech Republic.
