Any systematic monitoring of the concentration of radioactive isotopes
in the drinking springs, air, soil, open-air basins and local food
hasn't been carried out in Armenia. It's unclear to what extent
our soil, water and food is radiated. On 18 December the Armenian
Government approved "Strategy for Monitoring of Environmental Radiation
in the Republic of Armenia", which aims to lay down the steps, which
are to be implemented to ensure the establishment and development
of the capacities to control and monitor environmental radiation in
compliance to the up-to-date international approaches.
The document shows that Armenia has been experiencing this problem
since the Soviet period. Currently Armenia doesn't have any national
program on the monitoring of environmental monitoring, there is need
for equipment and staff, as well as thorough database.
The strategy on the environmental radiation monitoring and control
plans to implement 11 measures, which will result in the increase in
the safety of the environmental radiation in the Republic of Armenia.
