According to a recent study, it is likely that a mutation caused by radiation is not responsible for the genetic differences observed in dogs living in the vicinity of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, writes The Independent. The new findings may help us better understand the effects of radiation on populations. According to Norman Kleiman of Columbia University and a member of the team, the majority believe that the Chernobyl accident occurred…

Egy friss tanulmány alapján valószínűleg nem a sugárzás okozta mutáció felelős a csernobili atomerőmű környékén élő kutyáknál megfigyelt genetikai eltérésekért – írja a The Independent. Az új eredmények segíthetnek jobban megérteni a sugárzás populációkra gyakorolt hatását. Norman Kleiman, a Columbia Egyetem munkatársa és a csapat tagja szerint a többség úgy hiszi, hogy a csernobili baleset Ukrajna egy elhagyatott sarkában következett be, a pote…

Chernobyl’s Stray Dogs Are Genetically Distinct—But Radiation Isn’t the Reason

© Paul Bill/Pexels The 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster left huge scars in the region. Large areas of land in Ukraine, Belarus and Russia have been contaminated with radionuclides, making soil and water unfit for consumption and agriculture in the long term. Exposure to harsh radiation has led to a drastic increase in thyroid cancer cases, especially in children, and other health problems, such as cardiovascular and immune diseases, have also bee…
