The majority of premature deaths caused by Chernobyl are expected to be the result of cancers and other diseases induced by radiation in the decades after the event. This will be the result of a large population (some studies have considered the entire population of Europe) exposed to relatively low doses of radiation increasing the risk of cancer across that population. Interpretations of the current health state of exposed populations vary. Therefore, estimates of the ultimate human impact of the disaster have relied on numerical models of the effects of radiation on health. Furthermore, the effects of low-level radiation on human health are not well understood, and so the models used, notably the linear no threshold model, are open to question.
Google "Chernobyl cancer clusters", these cancer clusters are common in places in around high radiation and contaminated areas. That professor is an absolute moron. You can also google "Effects of Chernobyl: cancer", "Long-lasting effects of Chernobyl".
Google is your friend.
I have seen photos of deformed children and claims they are from Chernobyl but this hasn't been from official website (just blogs and anti-nuclear sites). I found that "Professor Gerry Thomas, who worked on the health effects of Chernobyl for the UN committee, said there is ''absolutely no evidence'' for an increase in birth defects". I have been looking for evidence from valid sites but found nothing.
Does anyone have any idea how to find out weather it is true or not? If it is not true have people just lied about Chernobyl being to blame?
