Radiation is easily detectable, compared to say, carbon pollution and its effect on health. If it were actually released into the environment, we'd know about it.
- Kon5ole 4y agoNo that's not true, radiation is not easily detectable it requires advanced instruments. Humans can't detect it at all. Instantly lethal doses will cause you to vomit, but you're a already a walking corpse by then. Carbon pollution you can smell and feel long before it's lethal.
