Wildlife and humans had a shortage of food because of the effects of radiation on the water and the plants. The seafood in the water bodies was not edible because of this. Because of this there were fish mutations.
The radiation from the chernobyl power plant contaminated bodies of water such as reservoirs rivers as well as lakes. They are living proof that radiation any radiation all radiation can transform normal dna normal cells into nightmares. The radiation from chernobyl is present still today and that is why these children look as they do.
No none of these photos are altered all are of children affected by the chernobyl disaster. Therefore there is a set limit up to which a person can be exposed to radiation even in the field of medicine. That being said radiation caused by x ray exposure and radiation therapy is also known to be harmful for the body.
When we talk about radiation effects we most often take into consideration the effects of nuclear radiation on humans. In general it takes a pretty high dose of radiation to increase cancer risk higley said. There have been no detectable health effects from exposure to radioactive cesium after the accident.
If the amount of radiation is controlled it can be used to treat cancer but if a leak or accidental exposure occurs it would be nearly impossible to control the. When exposed to radiation in large amounts humans can develop cancer. The effects of radiation on humans and animals are well documented as having an extremely detrimental effect.
The medical effects of the atomic bomb on hiroshima upon humans can be put into the four categories below with the effects of larger thermonuclear weapons producing blast and thermal effects so large that there would be a negligible number of survivors close enough to the center of the blast who would experience prompt acute radiation effects which were observed after the 16 kiloton yield. By 1963 carbon 14 in the northern hemisphere had increased by 100 percent and by 1984 about one decade later it had increased another 25 percent. Carbon 14 is produced by cosmic rays bomb tests and nuclear power plants.
The toxic effects of airborn pollutants show up earlier in plants than in the human.
Nuclear radiation effects on humans pictures. The effects of nuclear radiation on different areas of a human body. Those who are exposed to 200 rems or more of radiation may have nuclear radiation effects such as the loss of hair or hair that clumps together. There are times when the brain can be damaged but this happens only at an exposure that is higher than 5000 rems exposure this high may cause damage to the nerves and blood vessels. Effects of nuclear weapons.
Radiation effects on humans. Certain body parts are more specifically affected by exposure to different types of radiation sources. Several factors are involved in determining the potential health effects of exposure to radiation. Nuclear disasters can cause widespread death and sickness among wildlife just like humans.
But after the initial radiation leaks subside research has shown that wildlife communities can recover to levels sometimes higher than they were before the catastrophes.
