Господи, бедная Япония...
Хиросима всего лет писят тому была...
An excess risk of leukemia was one of the earliest delayed effects of radiation exposure seen in the victims, and today, more than 50 years after the bombs, this excess is reflected as the most widely apparent long-term radiation effect (“Leukemia…”). Currently, unlike Nagasaki, Hiroshima, where radiation effects are more pronounced, appears to have continued increased leukemia rates among survivors. In addition, the study reflects a significant correlation between the age of an individual at the time of the bomb, and the increase in leukemia incidence; the younger an individual at the time of the explosion, the more at risk he is for development (Marston 329). Thus, although leukemia is a rare disease, accounting for only 4% of all cancer deaths in the world, leukemia deaths constitute about 20% of the total excess cancers reflected by the study in Japan (“Leukemia…”).
