Abstract

The article considers the specifics of β-radiating radionuclides᾿ (RN) accumulation in vegetable (arugula, kale, lettuce, red Chinese cabbage, Chinese cabbage) and medicinal plants (lemon balm, breckland thyme, Saint John›s wort), cultivated in soil and hydroponic conditions at Ararat Valley (zone of ANPP at the radius of 30 km). It has been revealed that hydroponic plants are ecologically safer than soil plants. Thus, in order to get radio-ecologically safer raw material of plant origin biotechnological hydroponic production method is recommended. The total β -radioactivity of vegetable and medicinal plants and the content of technogenic RN were within the range of permissible limits.
