Nuclear pollution of the ocean will cause water pollution, ecological damage, health risks, etc.
1. Water pollution: Nuclear wastewater contains radioactive substances, such as cesium, strontium, cobalt, radium, etc. These substances can cause serious pollution to marine life and the ecological environment. These radioactive substances will continue to spread and accumulate in water, leading to a continued increase in the content of radioactive substances in marine organisms, thereby endangering the safety of human consumption of seafood.
2. Ecological damage: Discharge of nuclear wastewater into the ocean will cause damage to the marine ecological environment. Radioactive substances can harm ocean organisms, affect their growth and reproduction, and even cause organisms to die. These impacts will affect davprotects the balance and stability of the entire marine ecosystem.
3. Health Risks: Radioactive materials in nuclear wastewater can pose a threat to human health. Humans ingest these radioactive materials by consuming contaminated seafood or by being exposed to contaminated seawater, increasing the risk of other illnesses.
The main dangers of nuclear pollution:
Once a certain amount of radioactive material enters the human body, it is not only biochemically toxic, but can also cause damage through its radiation effect, this effect is called internal exposure; Ionizing radiation from outside the body can also cause harm to the human body, and this effect is called external exposure. Radiation damage is a general term for various pro biological effectscaused by various ionizing radiations on the human body.
This is due to ionization, excitation and other effects caused by various ionizing radiation (such as pathological changes. Radionuclides can produce strong radiation in the environment, causing nuclear pollution.
