ANNOTATION
The article presents the results of studies of the near-surface layer of the soil cover (up to 10 cm) of the territory of the Sughd region near the influence of anthropogenic objects. Soil cover samples were analyzed by gamma spectrometric method for the activity concentrations of isotopes (238U, 226Ra, 40K and 137Cs). Peculiarities of variation of radioactive isotopes in soil samples have been established. The obtained results are compared with the data of south-central Tajikistan. A conclusion is made about the influence of certain objects on the radioecological state of the soil cover of Northern Tajikistan.
