The main activities of the laboratory are:
1. The distribution of radioactive substances and xenobiotics on environmental objects; radioecological problems related to the impact of radioactive rays on the environment and radiolytic transformations of xenobiotics and natural toxins; scientific basis of radiation safety.
2. The study of radiation-chemical transformations in aqueous solutions, including in the presence of radioactive isotopes.
3. Development of effective methods for cleaning environmental objects contaminated with radioactive isotopes.
4. Development of methods for deep cleaning of substances from heavy radionuclides used in low-background measurements and nuclear medicine.
5. Scientific aspects of radiation safety, effects of radioactive contamination and ionizing rays on living beings, and development of protection methods against these effects.
6. Obtaining, researching and studying the application possibilities of biological active compositions of synthetic and natural origin that demonstrate restorative properties in radiation damage and improving the resistance of organisms against radiation

Basic activity directions:
1. The main factors characterizing the radioecological state in all regions of the country (the mineral chemical composition of water sources, soil, and vegetation, as well as contamination with radionuclides, xenobiotics, and natural toxins of pathogenic microorganisms), the number and distribution of natural radionuclides found in environmental objects, and their effect on current radioecological status, were studied. Water-migration, translocation, and accumulation of natural radionuclides spread to the environment due to the exploitation of mineral deposits and oil and gas production processes during the periodic passage of the planet through the radioactive dust clouds of outer space, deposition processes on the soil surface from polluted atmospheric air currents, and the effect of radiation from contaminated local soil areas on the general radiation background of the surrounding areas were studied. In these local areas, as well as in the mountains and foothills, relatively high levels of natural radionuclides were found. The effect of natural radionuclides on the components and properties of fertile soil cover, groundwater, and surface water sources was studied, and analytical analysis was carried out. It has been established that the distribution and quantity of radionuclides in the main sources of drinking water and groundwater in our country do not exceed the requirements of international standards. The mineral-chemical composition of water sources, soil, and vegetation in the country and the distribution of radioactive elements in rivers, reservoirs, land plots, and vegetation have been studied. The results of the analyses are published in the form of a single brochure-atlas.
2. Iron complexes of rutin, quercetin, and juglone were obtained from Sofora Japonica L. and Juglans regia plants, and it was revealed that they have radioprotective properties.
3. It has been shown that extracts of Achillea nobilis, Crocus sativus L., and Calendula officinalis and their modified forms with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) have radioprotective properties and can be used for radioprophylactic purposes.
4. The radiation-protective effects of phytocompositions of the modified dandelion Taraxacum officinale, burdock Arctium lappa l., St. John's wort Hypericum perforatum, and calendula Calendula officinalis L. were studied.
5. Synthesis methods of the methylpiperazinomethyl benzoylamide derivative of n-[(2-methyl-5-aminophenyl)-4-(3-pyridyl)-2 pyrimidine-amine] and its zinc complex were developed, radioprotective properties were studied, and the possibility of application in plant breeding was recommended.
