Its fatal impacts on the Earth.

    How are the things with our Planet? Are we aware of the things we do and what we cause? There are many damages caused to the Earth by different problems like smoke, rubbish, deforestation, traffic, littering and so on. But there is one unequal with lethal consequences that is the Radioactive Pollution. The Radioactive pollution is defined as the physical pollution of air, water and other radioactive materials. In view of the environmental specialists, radiations can be from different sources: can be natural (also known as the background radiations) or manmade (include the mining and refining of plutonium and thorium), humanity is still careless about the Earth.
   In reference to this, an event which is well-known worldwide, was the first atom bomb exploded in the Japan in the year 1945. It affected the Hiroshima and Nagasaki cities. It adversely affected the flora, fauna and humans of that area. In spite of these destructions the nuclear race is still going on between nations. The nuclear arms are tested with the production of nuclear weapons.
    Moreover, there are gases and particles produced by radioactive materials which are carried out by the wind and the rain brings down the radioactive particles to the ground which is referred to as nuclear fallout. The soil transfers these radioactive substances to the plants and ultimately they reach the human body and cause many side effects. For example, the iodine, affected material, may affect the blood cells, spleen, skin cancer, sterility and etc. Another case, the strontium has the ability to aggregate in the bones and form a bone cancer and leads to tissue degeneration.
    The radioactive materials are passed through the land to water and cause an adverse effect on the aquatic animals and they also reach to human through the food chain. Even though it is fictional, but for the matter of rising consciousness, think of the power plant in the Simpsons – contaminants are left behind which get contact with water, as a result we can see a fish with three eyes. This shows a type of mutation produced by contaminated water with radioactive elements.
   To put it briefly, this controversial issue that is strongly a manmade cause, has several results such as explosion of nuclear weapons, the nuclear fuels from power plants and mainly adulteration of the air, water and other materials. Therefore, we can also see consequences of this as in a TV series, The Simpsons where reflect them in an animated and funny way but unfortunately, human beings do not do anything to reduce it.

  1. Well Kevin, we usually talk about global warming and their causes but this is by far the most dangerous kind of pollution. Thank for worrying us about it.

  2. Dear kevin your essay is very interesting, I really enjoyed reading it. you have used many vocabularies and the structure is well organized. Personally, I must say that this essay is to think about what we want for our future generations, because we have one world there is no other one, so we are in time to save the planet. WELL DONE KEVIN!
