Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The territory of the Akmola region is characterized by the presence of a number of radiation factors caused by natural and man-made manifestations of increased radioactivity, the main of which are numerous areas of anomalous increases in natural radioactivity, uranium deposits and ore occurrences, as well as long-term large-scale activities of uranium mines and enterprises for the extraction of other minerals, with associated uranium mineralization. In this article, we will show the results of a study of pollution in the Stepnogorsk district in recent years and demonstrate the analysis of the data. The article will analyze the research data of 2016 and 2020. Comparison of the results showed that the concentration of pollution is present in high doses, in particular, special attention is paid to the village of Aksu.
