They produce radioactive fallout, leading to long-lasting environmental contamination and reduced agricultural production. Significant environmental harms include soil and water contamination, air pollution, and loss of biodiversity, as seen in the civilian nuclear energy disaster of Chernobyl (which was ...
Th2 cytokineMN6sensitisation.44Rashes are the most reported clinical events on board the ISS with an incidence rate of over 25-fold higher than that reported on Earth.45Diagnoses also include eczema, psoriasis and contact dermatitis amongst others, with antihistamines being one of the most prescrib...
greatly improve our understanding of ecosystem functional relationships among plant traits like leaf mass area (LMA), total nitrogen content, and leaf area index (LAI). They provide new information on physiological processes related to photosynthesis, transpiration and respiration, and stress detection, ...
The main concern about the multi-unit sites is related to the first question, i.e., whether an accident of an NPP in a site would affect the safety of other NPPs in the same site or not. The lessons learned report for the Chernobyl accident included recommendations that address this ...

Figure9illustrates the repeat coverage capability of S-2 satellites and some of its ecological information. The small town of Chernobyl is indicated to the southeast of the reactor site (Fig.9); the larger town of Pripyat was located to the northeast and remains unoccupied. The reactor complex...
direct additives are added to food with a special purpose (canning). The use of additives is justified if it is in accordance with legal regulations and does not pose a health or danger to consumers in the prescribed concentration. However, due to the specificity of the child’s metabolic sy...
according to the number of available studies and/or their history of applications. For example, classical contaminants such as PCBs and DDTs have been used over several decades, but radionuclides could have been investigated in rare events (e.g., Chernobyl and Fukushima accidents). The publication...
Below is an evaluation of the emergency responses to three accidents in NPPs: The chaos at the onset of the Three Mile Island accident (1979) [5] and initial misjudgments about the issue led to delayed and ineffective response measures; Following the Chernobyl accident (1986) [6], the ...
