The effects of the atomic bombings in Japan called exaggerated – Version

A group of French molecular biologists led by Bertrand Jordan showed that long-term consequences of US nuclear bombing of the Japanese in Hiroshima and Nagase seriously exaggerated.

In particular, the researchers noted that the cancer rates among those who survived the catastrophe is only slightly higher than that of people who do not exposed to radiation. A study conducted by experts from France, showed that the probability of oncology diseases depended not only on the person with respect to the location of the epicenter at the moment of the explosion, but also of sex and age. In particular, women suffering from cancer much more often than men.

In the 1958-1998 years, molecular biologists have noted, the incidence rate in those who underwent radiation were at 10 percent higher than the rest.

The majority of the survivors of the disaster in Japan received less than 1 Gray radiation. According to scientists, the risk of developing oncology arises when much more serious exposure. The researchers also noted that several years after the tragedy of children affected have not been diagnosed with any genetic disease. With regard to life expectancy, the figure at the post-bombing people was only a few months less than those who have not felt the effects of radiation.

Bertrand Jordan reviewed the work of experts on the impacts of the atomic bombings of the Japanese cities over the past 60 years and concluded that there is a huge gap between the actual figures and rooted in people’s consciousness concepts. In particular, according to the French, believing that the survivors are faced with debilitating consequences of the disaster for health, wrongly.

The scientist also urged the public to pay attention to the environmental problems associated with the coal and chemical industry. These industries, according to the biologist, much more seriously increase the risk of cancer in the population.
