Most of the human contamination is clustered along transportation arteries, especially train routes. People in the area buy their food on train platforms, much as they did in the United States 50 and 100 years ago. Many of these trains passed through the contaminated area.
The human health problems could worsen as the years pass. "In human populations, we're still waiting for the big effects," Dallas said.
Dallas initiated his Chernobyl studies because the site offered an unmatched opportunity to study the impact of a large release of radioactivity into the environment. The project led to the first application of clinical analysis techniques, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), to field studies.
Nutritionists use SOD to measure levels of oxygen scavengers, which gobble up harmful, chromosome-damaging oxygen radicals in the body. Radioactivity produces oxygen radicals, so Dallas's team can use SOD as an indirect measure of its presence.
The UGA researchers conduct their month-long field trips to Chernobyl under logistically trying conditions. They must take their own food into contaminated areas guarded by machine-gun-toting soldiers. Gas for their vans is hard to come by. And they must often work wearing protective suits, respirators and radiation monitors.
Still, the effort is worth the trouble, according to Dallas. "We're getting a picture no one else has been able to get," Dallas said.
Although the Chernobyl accident happened 11 years ago, there could be more catastrophic releases of radiation into the environment in the future. Another nuclear-reactor accident is a possibility, but so is a nuclear-bomb attack by terrorists. "We're going toneed to know how to guage that sort of impact," Dallas said.

As a wealthy businessman with the capacity for fund space exploration why would you not focus your resources on generating furry lollies instead?

I want one.

Here it is: she's called a chimera
