Summary: The monographis devoted to the broad problemof tritiumgenerarion,accumulation, distribution and migration inan environmentaffectedby natural and artificial factors. Theradiobiologicalaffectsand tritium standartizationin drinking water andatmosphericair as well as the safety storage of tritium wastes are examined. Nuclear energy is the main modern source of tritium in the biosphere.The officialassessmentof tritium safetyconcentrationsvary by a range of 600 000which have determined the considerable differences in tritium standardsaround world.In contravention of mechanismsbuilt during biological evolution, tritium(heavy isotope)isaccumulatedin plants of semi-natural marshecosystems.The operation of a solid radioactive wastefacility inKiev intheaftermath of amunicipal radiation accidentled to an increase in thepermissibleconcentrations oflocal tritiumenvironmental contamination but to a level not hazardous to theKyivcity population.
