The paper presents data on the influence of electromagnetic radiation organism honey bees. For this, three groups bee families were formed. Bee control group kept under from Sun. In 1st experimental group, offspring exposed to with a frequency 2580 MHz. we used GZ-122 microwave generator an output power 1×10-12 W. Irradiation was carried out in chamber isolated light and shielded radiation, which located thermally sound-insulated room radiation. experiments brood, temperature maintained at 35 °С TS-80 thermostats. following mode: 9 hours irradiation 7 pause (without irradiation). This cycle repeated 3 times row. second same generator, irradiated brood 16 It established that bees developed long-term artificial acquire morphophysiological characteristics fewer reserve nutrients. Long-term exposure negatively affects storage nutrients form lipids by 25.69 % (P < 0.05), reduction total nitrogen 16.93 0.05). Such negative trend revealed against background 14.1 lower mass 0.01) compared natural irradiation.

Abstract. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is closely related to health; however, limited measurements have hindered further investigation of its health effects in China. Machine learning algorithms been widely used predict environmental factors with high accuracy, but a number studies implemented it for UV radiation. The main aim this study develop prediction model using the random forest approach and daily 10 km resolution mainland China from 2005 2020. was developed multiple predictors, such as data satellites independent variables ground monitoring stations dependent variable. Missing satellite-based were obtained 3 d moving average method. performance evaluated cross-validation (CV) methods. overall R2 root mean square error between measured predicted development 10-fold CV 0.97 15.64 W m−2 0.83 37.44 at level, respectively. that incorporated erythemal dose (EDD) retrieved Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) had higher accuracy than without it. Based on predictions spatial resolution, nearly 100 % spatiotemporal coverage, we found increased by 4.20 %, PM2.5 levels decreased 48.51 O3 22.70 2013–2020, suggesting potential correlation among these factors. uneven distribution associated latitude, elevation, meteorological factors, season. eastern areas pose risk due both population density intensity.
