10. Chernobyl's radioactive impact on fauna.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences - 1 Nov 2009

Yablokov Alexey V

Abstract excerpt

The radioactive shock when the Chernobyl reactor exploded in 1986 combined with chronic low-dose contamination has resulted in morphologic, physiologic, and genetic disorders in every animal species that has been studied--mammals, birds, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates. These populations exhibit a wide variety of morphological deformities not found in other populations. Despite reports of a "healthy"...
