Abstract

The study of the radioactivity of insects - herpetobiont elytra that belong to different trophic groups shown the presence of incorporated 137Cs, there were concentrated about 20% of total animal radioactivity. The comparison of the radionuclide comparison was done in both dried and fresh samples. Radioactive contamination of integument comes mainly from the terminal phase of metamorphosis (at the ninth phase)

Keywords
