INTRODUCTION: 

INTRODUCTION Hard ecological situation in Moscow caused by industry, strong transport traffic and a large number of scientific establishments, whose activity is connected with using of radioactive and toxic substances motivate the need for the detailed evaluation of the influence of anthropogenic factors on environment. Animal and plant natural communities of the recreation forests located in different parts of the city can serve as the most adequate object for this estimation. Since 1995, we have been conducting radiobiological monitoring of the recreation forests of Moscow within the framework of the Moscow program of public radiation safety. In this report the results of studies of mice and voles sampled from the territory of the preserved radioactive waste storage (RWS) built according to the special project in 1956 and located in the Moscow recreation forest “Kuzminki” are presented and discussed.
