Cover-up of Damages by Atomic Bombing and Severe Effects of Internal Exposure by Residual Radiation

Cover-up of Injuries from Atomic Bombing and Severe Effects of Internal Exposure to Residual Radiation

Public exposure to natural radiation sources (Ramsar Case Study)

Introduction: Human beings are naturally exposed to ionizing radiation in any environment. There are two main contributors to radiation exposures from natural sources: cosmic rays, Cosmo genic radionuclides, and radioactive nuclides that originated in the earth's crust. According to the latest data provided by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Rad...

Cytogenetic and biochemical competency of chamomile essential oil against γ-rays induced mutagenic effects in mice

Background: Chamomile essential oil (CEO) hauls out from Matricaria chamomilla L., is a well-known anti-oxidant. Oxidative stress induces clastogenic and biochemical disorders after γ-irradiation of animals. Materials and Methods: Mice were divided into five groups. Control group received vehicle only.              &nbs...

Protective role of ferulic acid against the damaging effect induced by electromagnetic waves on rat liver and intestine tissues

Background: the increasing use of mobile phones in daily life causes many concerns about their effects on human health. Therefore, this work was designed to study the effects of exposure to 1800 MHz electromagnetic waves (EMW) on the liver and intestine of male albino rats and the protective role of ferulic acid (FA) against these harmful effects. Materials and Methods: twenty-four male albino ...

Internal exposure to neutron-activated 56Mn dioxide powder in Wistar rats—Part 2: pathological effects

To fully understand the radiation effects of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki among the survivors, radiation from neutron-induced radioisotopes in soil and other materials should be considered in addition to the initial radiation directly received from the bombs. This might be important for evaluating the radiation risks to the people who moved to these cities soon after the detonat...
