“…Analysis of the data demonstrates that for the average dose of natural radiation per citizen in 2020 of 2.98 mSv/year, the contribution of the dose of internal radiation due to inhalation of radon isotopes is 55%, the fraction of external radiation by natural sources of terrestrial origin (ER) is 21%, the contribution of cosmic radiation is 14%, and other sources are responsible for 10%. Slight decrease in average dose can be mentioned in comparison with 2013 (2.98 mSv in comparison with 3.19 mSv) [ 1 ], mainly due to decrease in external radiation from 0.87 mSv in 2013 to 0.62 mSv in 2020. The other components of individual dose remained actually the same.…”

This article presents information about the radiation environment and radiation doses of the population received in 2020 in the territories monitored by FMBA. The information is based on analysis, processing, and generalization of data from radiation hygienic certificates of companies and territories monitored by the FMBA for 2020. The average annual individual radiation doses of population in 2020 due to natural and technogenic modified radiation background are presented. The information about the structure, number of X-ray radiation procedures are presented classified by types and groups of organs, collective and average radiation dose of population received in 2020 in the territories monitored by FMBA. In quantitative terms, fluorograms and radiograms prevail. Significant decrease in the number of X-ray procedures is observed in 2020 in comparison with 2018 mainly to decrease in the number of fluorography and radiography procedures. Herewith, in comparison with 2018 the collective and average doses have increased, which is attributed to significant increase in the number of computer tomography procedures. Significant increase in the contribution of computer tomography to the collective dose is mentioned in comparison with previous years (more than 20% growth from 2018 to 2020) at its insignificant contribution in terms of the number of procedures. This fact is attributed to significant increase of tomographic examinations during the coronavirus pandemic. The radiation doses received during fluorography, radiography, radioscopy, tomography, and other procedures are analyzed. The dose characteristics during X-ray cardiac procedures in Russia and France are compared.

The article contains information about the radiation situation and radiation doses of the population, as well as occupational exposure in 2021 in the territories serviced by the FMBA of Russia. The distribution of the number of personnel working with sources of ionizing radiation or exposed to ionizing radiation by dose intervals for taking into account individual doses of radiation at facilities of different departmental affiliation, as well as the values of the collective dose are given. Information is provided on the structure, number of radiological procedures by types and groups of organs, collective and average radiation dose of patients received in 2021 in the territories serviced by the FMBA of Russia. There is a significant increase in the contribution of computed tomography to the collective dose compared to previous years.
