Even 25 years later the Chernobyl Disaster, ten of thousands of Ukrainians, Belarusians and Russians are still living contaminated in their countries (ex Sovietics). Millions of people at those days were affected physically and mentally by the accident.
An explosion at the Nuclear Power Plant in 1986 spread a radioactive cloud over large parts of the Soviet Union. Nearly 8.4 million people were exposed to the radiation and until now new cases of cancer and other diseases are reported all the time. According to the state's statistics, 75 percent of school children have chronic diseases.
On this 25th anniversary, there aren’t many reasons to celebrate, just remember as many as half-a-million heroes who have been involved in the clean-up or repairs of the site since the incident occurred, trying to recover damages. Tens of thousands have died or become sick since then.
This occasion makes me think about the current Japan's situation and all consequences it will suffer over the short (or long) run...
Not compared, but some health ills are transmitted genetically through generations. Allergy, pollution, sun in excess, stress, depression… are other agents that can cause skin problems, in my particular case. However, is the person’s predisposition that results in this (or any) kind of evil.
In other words, my family passed me the genes which permit these reactions on my body. On the whole, there is some cure for each one of them. Albeit they must be know to medicine them rightly. Sometimes, unfortunately, they don't and it is spent much time until discover its causes.
The sands are running out… So, I hope all these kind of health matters can be solved as soon as possible on top of that its solutions can reach all population. So to speak, nobody deserves these kinds (or any one) of long-lasting cruel punishment.
