Radiospectrometer aspects of radiation safety habitats are an integral part of the solution to environmental problems as pollution objects ecosystems of natural and technological hazards radiation play a negative role in the health status of the population living in the zone of ecological distress. Purpose of Study Assessment of the radioecological situation in the territory of the settlements included in the area of Aral Sea. Results Made gamma‐spectrometric shooting areas the study areas of the Aral sea has allowed to establish that the performance of the equivalent dose of gamma radiation ranged from 0.01 to 0.18 μsv/h. In the soil samples of the investigated areas, found the content of natural radionuclides as thorium ‐ 232 (from 45 to 50.3%), radium ‐ 226 (3.7 to 4.1%) and potassium ‐ 40 (from 10.7 to 11.3%). The values of the flux density of radon from the ground surface in the target territories of settlements ranged for, Aralsk ‐ from 31,22 to 56.8 MBq/m2*s; village Aiteke bi ‐ from 41.2 per cent to 50,31 MBq/m2*s; and the village of Zhosaly from 22,15 to 44,10 MBq/m2*s; and the village of Zhalagash from 30,2 to 41,10 MBq/m2*s and the village Shieli from 43,16 to 52,19 MBq/m2*s.
