RESUMO
This paper presents results of measurements of selected gamma-radioactive radionuclide concentrations (7Be, 210Pb, 40K, 137Cs, 134Cs) in atmospheric aerosols registered in 2002-2017 at the Polish Polar Station of the Institute of Geophysics Polish Academy of Science in Hornsund and in the S. Kalinowski's Geophysical Observatory Institute of Geophysics Polish Academy of Science in Swider. The above measurements and tests are used to control and track long-term concentrations of radionuclides depending on the geometeorological conditions prevailing in the vicinity of the station. Collecting radiological data from polar regions and comparing them with data from medium latitudes leads to a better understanding of the mechanisms of creation and propagation of radionuclides in the air. Hornsund station is one of the northernmost measuring site for continuous airborne radionuclide monitoring in the Spitsbergen archipelago. It also allows the analysis of the relationship of radionuclides to the Earth's magnetic field.
