Threats of nuclear radiations on the natural environment and ways to fight it on an international scale
Abstract
The average of environment pollution has increased significantly during the current quarter century, as a result of the increasing rate of pollution, the most widespread of which is toxic pollution, especially nuclear waste represents an issue for many countries and organizations that are underlining the necessity of preserving the environment. Probably the thing that hurts the most about this subject is the inappropriate methods that are used to get rid of nuclear waste, such as burying it in watercourses or throwing it on poor developing countries’ land to be buried in return for financial aid. Therefore, this waste represents a threat for the oceans and its wildlife, as well as underground water because of the nuclear radiations that will remain for a long period of time. As a result to that, the frequent environmental problems that are threatening both the economic development and the life of earth inhabitants whose number is constantly increasing will cause an environmental imbalance considered as an important element in human life, for these reason, the conservation of biodiversity is necessity in order to keep a well-balanced and integrated environment.
