Any undesirable effects caused to the environment by radioactive substances or radiation are called nuclear pollution. The main source is nuclear power plants. If traces of radioactive substances are present in the water that is released from the plant, it will cause nuclear contamination. The emission of radiation can also cause this type of pollution.
It affects almost all forms of life in the environment. From plankton to human beings, nothing is spared. To be more specific, radiation can cause mutations that lead to cancer, and the radiation dose or level of contamination determines the lethality or lethality it is.
However, nuclear pollution is extremely dangerous in nature. It occurs as a result of nuclear explosions that are carried out during the conduct of nuclear tests. These nuclear tests are carried out to invent better nuclear weapons. The explosions cause the release of 15 to 20% of radioactive material in the stratosphere.
Upon entering this layer, they begin to fall into the earth's atmosphere. This fall can take from 6 months to several years. 5% of these radioactive particles enter the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the atmosphere.
The smallest particles of the radioactive material are called precipitations. The rain falls on the leaves of plants and trees. These leaves are eaten by grazing animals. Radioactive material now enters the ecosystem.
Humans consume these particles through the food chain process. Now there are serious health problems. Ingestion of radioactive material can lead to cancer and genetic mutation in humans. Precipitations that do not fall on the leaves accumulate on the sea. This can be detrimental to marine life, which ultimately affects humans.
