'Apples the size of watermelons': Growing up in the Chernobyl fallout zone
- gus_massa 8y agoThe article has a few dubious parts: > "Gigantic fruit," she recalled. "Apples almost the size of watermelons." I don't remember reading it before, and it isn't one of the expected side effects of radioactive contamination. Did they fact check this part? A quote for the title of the article should be checked. > We were told it was contained, and that everything was fine. As a result, people in Ukraine continued [..] drinking un-boiled water […]. And all of it was poisoned. It doesn't matter how hard you boil water, it would not remove the radiation. So this part is misleading. I hope that the book they are selling about using superheroes for psychological therapy has a better scientific support.
