Human Biology Topic – Will a Dirty Bomb in a Major Populated City Cause Havoc?

Indeed, I’d say we all know that radiation is a real difficulty for the human biosystem, and this is why it is so carefully employed in modern medicine and why the world is so worried about a terrorist threat or rogue nation state with nuclear weapons. Now then, it has been said and clearly stated by intelligence agencies around that world that Al Qaeda, and its followers are still attempting to get nuclear material. Material such as cesium, plutonium, or uranium whether or not it is enriched or not, to be employed as a dirty bomb.

Believe it or not acquiring a hold of such material is not as hard as it sounds, and we also know that even Al Qaeda has made this threat, and we ought to thus, take into account the threat to be real and whereas, most of the discussion on this topic are along these lines, instead of prevention. We know it is inevitable that someday a terrorist organization or a proxy terrorist organization will get a hold of nuclear material and we will have a dirty bomb scenario on our hands in some major populated cities somewhere in the world.

Now for the biology issues

Just simply because a dirty bomb has gone off, doesn’t mean the individuals that live there can automatically leave, some people will have no location to go specifically in a extremely huge city. You can’t just evacuate a giant city that is extremely populated. Yes, it has been completed just before, but if we do that we will surely find much more dirty bombs being employed. In other words, we can’t let this level of terrorism stop us from going about our daily lives.

If a dirty bomb goes off in a capital city in some nation you can’t just move the entire government somewhere else appropriate away. Yes, it will cost millions if not billions of dollars to scrub the area, wash it down, and then clean up, or move the government, folks, businesses, etc. to yet another location. If men and women choose to stay there is a biological issue that we need to also address. Obviously pregnant mothers need to not live in the city, or any woman of childbearing years or younger.

Also, young males should not live in such a city because it will also affect their reproductive organs. We know that in areas with radiation there are numerous anomalies in newborns of any species that remains. It happened in Nagasaki and Hiroshima, and it also happened in Chernobyl. This is something we want to feel about depending on the level and spread of radiation. Along with how significantly has gotten into the groundwater, and these are issues we should be thinking about.

Will the radiation trigger spontaneous evolution? There will be many birth defects, we know this to be a reality, and specifically there will be youngsters born with unfortunate diseases. And yes there will be some evolution, but possibly not significantly compared to the damage that is performed to the human bio-system of those that remain, or the kids born afterwards.

Luckily, it’s not as poor as it would appear from our past experiences. As a result, we need to be discussing these issues along with ways to stop a dirty bomb or radioactive material getting into the hands of terrorists. Please be thinking here.
