This study is focused on assessing the pathways through which radionuclides enter the human body via agricultural products. Specifically, special attention was given to the transfer process of radionuclides from soil to plants, then to livestock, animal products, and finally to humans. In this chain, the soil plays akey role, as its physicochemical properties directly influence the migration and bioavailability of radionuclides in living organisms.To accurately determine the level of radionuclide contamination, comprehensive research was conducted in various regionsof the Almaty region. The specific activity of radionuclides in water samples was found to be 0.1 Bq/kg (l). In soil samples, this value was 10.1 Bq/kg, in plants and animal feed —4.8 Bq/kg, and in dairy products —approximately 0.31 Bq/kg (l). All measured values were within the established sanitary and hygienic standards. This indicates that the radiation background in the studied area is normal and does not pose a significant risk to human health.Overall, the obtained results confirm that the radiation situation in the studied areas of the Almaty region is stable. Radiation exposure to the population through the consumption of agricultural products remains within the established safe limits. Furthermore, the research findings can serve as a scientific basis for environmental monitoring, veterinary-sanitary safety, food quality assessment, and the development of sustainable agricultural management strategies in areas potentially affected by radionuclide contamination in the future
