RESUMO

This study developed in the central part of Cuba, attempted to evaluate a gamma radiation dose rate, exploring the airbome geophysical survey possibilities in order to obtain a radiogeochemical characterization and the geological - structural mapping of environment for an area of about 16.500 km2. Besides, to dispose through this research, of results that contribute to the establishment of the environmental base tine, based on the background of the gamma terrestrial radiation and its possible relationships in the context, is interest fqr the system of surveillance national radiological. The statistical data about deaths for neoplasies of the type solid tumors in the region, the one which presents the second one place of occurrences of cases in the country, it induces the followirig hypothesis: "could be those environment be able to generate gamma radiation dose rates correlated with the statistics facts, that reach the population of the twenty-seven involved municipal districts?" . With this intent, several independent landscape variables (geological, geophysical, physiographic, epidemiologic ones and related to the population s census), Were modeled and analyzed using GIS, in order to establish a possible relationship with the mean value about the dose rate estimated in the central region. This procedure provided a reasonable representation of the environmental geological diversity, linking it to current cases incidences and expected probabilistic, in the population. The geological diversity m the area is composed by the units of the margm of the Bahamas contmental platform (Upper Jurassic - Upper Cretaceous), for the Mesozoic ophiolites, partially blended and superimposed for the volcanic rocks of the arch of islands Cretaceous (CVA), for the Cenozoic Neo-platform cover, for the meta - vo1canicrocks of green schist facies and amphibolites m the limits with the litho-tectonic units (Lower Jurassic - Upper Cretaceous) of the metamorphic Escambray Terram.... Note: The complete abstract is available with the full electronic digital thesis or dissertations
