The environmental pollution problem continues to increase in intensity. For this reason, atmospheric element levels should continue to be determined using bioindicator organisms and pollution measurements should be made regularly. The main reasons for the increase in radioactive pollution are mining activities, thermal power plants, base stations and nuclear power plants where fossil fuels are preferred as a source. The radiation doses that the members of the society are exposed to for all reasons other than natural radioactivity are controlled by regulations that prevent the leakage of radioactive materials to radiation and the environment. In this context, the detection and monitoring of radionuclides by bioindicator organs is reported in detail. Mosses are frequently used as biological indicators for monitoring environmental radioactivity in current studies.

Çevresel Radyoaktivite Çalışmalarında Biyoindikatör Karayosunları

Öz

Çevre kirliliği sorunu şiddetini artırarak devam etmektedir. Bu nedenle biyoindikatör
organizmalar kullanılarak atmosferik element seviyeleri belirlenmeye devam edilmeli ve
kirlilik ölçümleri düzenli olarak yapılmalıdır. Radyoaktif kirliliğin artmasının başlıca nedenleri
madencilik faaliyetleri, termik santraller, baz istasyonları ve fosil yakıtların kaynak olarak
tercih edildiği nükleer santrallerdir. Toplum bireylerinin doğal radyoaktivite dışındaki tüm
nedenlerle maruz kaldıkları radyasyon dozları, radyoaktif maddelerin radyasyon ve çevreye
sızmasını önleyen yönetmeliklerle kontrol edilmektedir. Bu bağlamda, radyonüklidlerin
biyoindikatör organlar tarafından saptanması ve izlenmesi ayrıntılı olarak rapor edilmektedir.
Karayosunları, mevcut çalışmalarda çevresel radyoaktivitenin izlenmesi için sıklıkla biyolojik
göstergeler olarak kullanılmaktadır.

Anahtar Kelimeler
