| Abstract | The explosion of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in March 2011 has caused the public concerns on the effects of ionizing radiation on health and genetic materials. The consequences of the damage include cancer and disabilities of the next generations. This review article gathered research involving health issues of those who were affected from the Chernobyl plant explosion in 1986 and survivors of the atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki during the World War II. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the effects of ionizing radiation on acute sickness, increased risk of cancer, effects on the cellular and DNA level, as well as conflicting schemes of how to manage health issues that might occurs in the future. |
