Abstract: (8145 Views) |
| The present nuclear leakage crisis from Japan is
a topic to be discussed in present public health. In
radiology, the leaked radioactive elements are
considered hazard. Here, the author briefly reviews
and discusses on two important radio-hazard
elements in post nuclear power plant crisis, radioactive
iodine and radioactive cesium. Based on previous
similar nuclear crisis in Russia, it is evidenced that
the increased incidence of some cancers in
post-crisis period is due to exposure to these two
important radioactive elements. Iran. J. Radiat. Res.,
