Several Mental Health Problems
As one might imagine, a horrific event like a nuclear disaster resulted in a surge in mental health and psychological issues like anxiety, PTSD, and despair. Many people also had unexplained physical symptoms that were possibly psychosomatic.
Cases Of Birth Defects
As a result of the nuclear tragedy, children are still being born with birth abnormalities to this day. Some babies have been born with missing limbs, and one infant was even born with two heads. Hazardous quantities of strontium-90, a radioactive material discharged into the air after the tragedy, are likely to blame for these flaws.
