Authors

  • G. G. Polikarpov

Keywords:

radioecology, radiation protection, ionising radiations, radioactivity, marine, freshwater and terrestrial biota, ecosystems, biosphere, anthropocentrism, ecocentrism, eco-ethics

Abstract

Considerations results of main aspects of this problem have been presented. Detailed formulation of radiation protection of biosphere is proposed: 'Biosphere protected against harmful effects of ionising radiation will ensure radiation protection and complete viability of mankind' or briefly: 'If biosphere is protected, man is automatically protected'.
