Basically, it addressed the many health problems caused by Chernobyl's radiation. Thyroid cancer was the most common, with 237 cases in the beginning. 28 of those patients died.
High levels of radiation caused problems sooner, and showed early symptoms like vomiting. Days after, the patients' white blood cell counts dropped severely. Low levels of radiation caused cancer later on. No matter how much radiation a person was exposed to, they always suffered some sort of disease.
My opinion on the article was that it was informative, even though it was complex. It went in- depth with the effects of radiation.
Questions: Were there any parts of the world not affected by radiation?
What sorts of diseases did the surviving nuclear plant workers get?
What other early symptoms were shown when a person is affected by radiation?
What diseases did animals get?
How did diseased animals and plants suddenly flourish and become the almost-paradise that Pripyat is today?
