Burnazyan Federal Medical Biophysical Center of the FMBA of Russia1512202230577177529102022Copyright © 2022,2022The widespread use in today's world of radioactive sources d in energy, medicine, engineering and construction, for contaminant tracking and food sterilization increases the likelihood of accidental exposure. The use of ionizing radiation and radioactive elements can directly or indirectly cause life-threatening complications, such as oncopathology, radiation burns, and impaired immunity. Pollution of the environment with radioactive elements and depletion of the ozone layer also contribute to an increase in the level of radiation exposure. To protect the health of the population living in contaminated areas and consuming locally produced products, it is necessary to organize a system for monitoring radioactive damage, as well as special anti-radiation protective measures in the field of agriculture and forestry, hunting and fishing, and providing the population with food.The purpose of the study is to analyze modern scientific data on the effect of ionizing radiation on reproductive function and modern approaches aimed at correcting its violations.Bibliographic, information-analytical methods and methods of comparative analysis were used.fertilityinfertilitylow birth weightassisted reproductive technologiesCOVID-19здоровье населениярадиационные веществапротиворадиационные защитные меры1.Weiss J.
