The goal of the research is to find out the main low-intensity radioactive anomalies as the main probable source of human light irradiation in Arkhangelsk city; give an objective estimation of radiation risks and potential health damage of the local population. Avtogamma-spectrometric method, using a mobile radiation monitoring system RS-700 was firstly used in the city. It allows to measure both natural and artificial radionuclides in real time geo-referenced. Ground gamma survey method with geological prospecting scintillation radiometer SRP-88H has been used for specification of obtained results. Soil sampling has been selected in each city block with further definition of radionuclides specific activity in the gamma spectrometer counting sample "Progress". A unique set of data on the radioactive level and the specific activity of 137Cs, 40K, 232Th, 226Ra in the soil have been collected as a part of the radio-ecological study. Nine local low-intensity anomalies have been revealed and their genesis has been set. The comparative comprehensive assessment of low doses ionizing radiation on human health has been done. Possible ways of further medical and environmental research in the field of oncological diseases and radioactivity study in the city of Arkhangelsk have been planned
