Uncover the secret to help animals survive the Chernobyl disaster

Biologists have discovered the secret to help some animals and birds survive in the Chernobyl quarantine.

According to a study by Timothy A.Moussseu and Anders P.Moller in the newspaper Offord, the bodies of these animals have blocked the negative effects of radiation and produced a large amount of antioxidants. chemical.

"Although the overall tendency is to reduce the number of animals due to radioactive contamination, there is a large variation in species of radioactive nuclide sensitivity. These findings point to an important role of Antioxidants in protecting the body against the effects of radioactive substances , "the two scientists said.

According to Sputnik, Mosseau, Moller and colleagues, including a group of Russian and Ukrainian scientists joined the international "Chernobyl + Fukushima" project.

Biologists, physicists and experts from other scientific fields thoroughly study the effects of low-level radiation on the health of certain animal species.

In recent years, scientists have discovered many interesting facts and also controversy about the impact of radiation.

For example, radiation is found to cause mutations in many animals, but does not affect the health of the entire population.

Experts have demonstrated that birds and animals react to low levels of radiation in different ways. The number of some birds and mammals has decreased, and others have increased.

"Some variation in sensitivity can be explained by differences in prehistory, physiology and behavior. For example, birds in Chernobyl, remote migratory species, species There are colorful colors and the insectivores in the soil show the greatest negative reaction to radiation. "

In general, these findings show that the animals above, with the body somehow produce more antioxidants, can better adapt to living conditions in the quarantine area and are less tolerant. effects of negative effects of radiation.

The number of individual species has increased because of reduced competition and less pressure from predators.

In contrast, other animals, including humans, react negatively to radiation due to their inability to produce adequate amounts of antioxidants.

Therefore, the study concludes that only species that can survive and thrive in new radiation conditions can adapt to the radioactive environment and produce many antioxidants in the body.
