Among the children
with thyroid cancer in Fukushima, more than 70% have lymph node metastases, and
some children had even lung metastases. According to the writings of a medical
doctor Akira Sugenoya, who engaged in medical support activities in Chernobyl,
one in six children in Chernobyl had lung metastases.
It was particularly painful for me when I
learned about the iodine-131 treatment (isn’t there any better option?) for
children with thyroid cancer that has already spread to the lungs in dozens of
children in Fukushima. Patients undergoing treatment are said to be kept in
concrete isolation wards for days on end, feeling sick and in agony. Even if
they vomit, medical staff are not allowed to enter the ward and the patients
themselves have to clean up the mess. He said that everything, including vomit,
excrement, and towels used to wipe sweat, become radioactive waste! I think it
is unacceptable to force even a single child to go through such a harsh
experience.
CHERNOBYL 34 YEARS ON – THE WORLD UNITES THIS UN CHERNOBYL REMEMBRANCE DAY チェルノブイリ事故から34年
Today marks the 34th anniversary of the devastating Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster. 今日は(4月26日)壊滅的なチェルノブイリ原子力災害の34周年を迎えます。 It is also the fourth United Nations Chernobyl Disaster Remembrance Day.
This is a day which offers a unified, global message of hope with past,
present and future generations who have been and will continue to be
directly affected by Chernobyl. また、4回目の国連チェルノブイリ災害記念日でもあります。これは、チェルノブイリの影響を受けてきた過去、現在、そして未来の世代に、統一されたグローバルな希望のメッセージを提供する日です。
This year, has shown more than ever before how – by uniting globally,
we can create a difference as the world unites to battle the
Coronavirus and flatten the curve. Much like the radiation emitted from
the Chernobyl Disaster, the Covid 19 Pandemic is an invisible force that
has the potential to be a deadly entity which can have profound effects
on people’s health. Now more than ever before, people can relate to the
conditions in which many people in Ukraine and Belarus had to live in
the aftermath of the nuclear fallout. 今年はこれまでになくその方法を示してきました。グローバルに団結することで、コロナウイルスと闘い、感染拡大曲線を平坦化するために世界が団結するにつれて、私たちは違いを生み出すことができます。チェルノブイリ原発事故で発生した放射線と同様に、Covid ー19パンデミックは目に見えない力であり、人々の健康に重大な影響を与える可能性のある致命的な存在になる可能性があります。今やこれまで以上に、人々は、ウクライナとベラルーシの多くの人々が核放射性降下物の余波の中で生活しなければならなかった状況に関心を寄せることができるのではないでしょうか。 Chernobyl charity – Chernobyl Children International,
who were one of the first responders to the Chernobyl Disaster, have
today come out in support of frontline staff, who are currently working
tirelessly on the frontline to protect and save so many lives during the
global pandemic. CCI’s Voluntary CEO Adi Roche said, チェルノブイリチャリティー組織であり、チェルノブイリ災害への最初の対応者であるチェルノブイリチルドレンインターナショナルは、今日、最前線のスタッフを支援するようになりました。CCIの自主CEOであるAdi Roche氏は言います。 “We stand
in solidarity with those who bravely and heroically are answering this
worldwide call to defend people’s health and save lives from a harmful
invisible force. People are doing what they can to help others at this
precarious time. It is truly inspirational to see everyone pulling
together – while remaining apart, to fight a fight unlike any we have
had to fight before. On the anniversary of the Chernobyl Disaster, we’d
like to bow our heads to healthcare workers everywhere.” 「私たちは勇敢かつ英雄的に人々の健康を守り、目に見えない有害な力から命を救うというこの世界的な呼びかけに応えている人々と連帯しています。人々はこの不安定な時期に他人を助けるためにできることをしている。皆が力を合わせて闘うのを見るのは本当に感動的です。チェルノブイリ災害の記念日に、私たちはどこにいても医療従事者に頭を下げたいと思います。」
Healthcare is a vital component of CCI’s programmes which help to
treat ill and disabled children in Belarus affected by Chernobyl. Many
of these children have compromised immunity linked to the after effects
of radiation. Now, not only do these children have the added component
of the Coronavirus to fight on top of pre-existing conditions but wild
fires have broken out in Chernobyl and Belarus too. This poses another
risk from radioactive poisoning from radionuclides that have been
re-distributed in to the atmosphere. ヘルスケアは、チェルノブイリの影響を受けたベラルーシの病気の子供や障害児の治療に役立つCCIのプログラムの重要な要素です。これらの子供たちの多くは、放射線による後遺症に関連する免疫力を危うくしています。現在、これらの子供たちはコロナウイルスの追加的な脅威を背負っているだけでなく、この4月-5月には、チェルノブイリとベラルーシでも山火事が発生しました。これは、大気中に再拡散されてしまった放射性核種による放射能被曝によるさらなるリスクをもたらします。 Families who have had to be evacuated from eight villages in the
Chernobyl region of Ukraine because of the radioactive fires which have
been burning there for the past two weeks, have appealed to Ireland for
immediate humanitarian aid and medical aid, particularly for over 600
children who urgently need to be evacuated, many of whom have lost their
homes and all their possessions. ウクライナのチェルノブイリ地域の過去2週間に燃え続けていた放射性火災のために8つの村から避難しなければならなかった家族は、即時の人道援助と医療援助、特に600人以上の子供たちのためにアイルランドに訴えました緊急に避難する必要があり、その多くは家や所有物をすべて失っています。
Leading eminent Belarussian scientist Professor Yuri Bandazhevsky,
Head of the Centre of Radiological Research at Ivankova, has launched a
global appeal to help those affected. 主要なベラルーシの科学者であるイワンコフ地区で放射線研究センター「Ecology and Health」の責任者であるユーリバンダシェフスキー教授は、影響を受けた人々を支援するための世界的な呼びかけを開始しました。 When speaking about the fires, he said, “We do not have
effective tools to help children suffering from forest fires in the
Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. Those who are responsible for the fate of
millions of people do not have an understanding of the dangers that
arose. After the burning of trees, the radioactive elements contained in
them remain on the surface of the soil and are carried over long
distances with the wind. The population is exposed not only in the
adjacent territories, but also in other regions and even countries.” 火災についてバンダジェフスキー博士は訴えています。「チェルノブイリ立入禁止区域で森林火災に苦しんでいる子供たちを助けるための効果的なツールがありません。何百万もの人々の運命に責任を負う人々が、生じている危険性を理解していません。樹木の燃焼後、それらに含まれていた放射性元素は土壌の表面に残り、風と共に長距離にわたって運ばれます。被曝の影響を受ける人口集団は、隣接する地域だけでなく、他の地域や国にもさらされています。」
As fires roared in Belarus, CCI received the news that they were
dreading earlier this week when they were informed that an institution
that they have been working in for 20 years – Vesnova, was also
infiltrated by an invisible enemy – the Coronavirus. There are now cases
of Covid 19 in the institution. Chernobyl Children International are
working with local authorities to ensure that all the right steps are
taken to protect the children at this time. The work of frontline staff
is invaluable at this time as this deadly virus grips the world. 火事が発生している間、CCIは今週初め、20年間働いてきた機関であるVesnovaにも目に見えない敵であるコロナウイルスが潜入しているという、恐ろしいニュースを受け取りました。現在、機関ではCovid 19のケースが発生し、チェルノブイリチルドレンインターナショナルは、現時点で子供たちを保護するためにすべての適切な措置が講じられるよう、地方自治体と協力しています。この致命的なウイルスが世界を席巻している現在、最前線のスタッフの仕事は非常に貴重です。

There
was a 57000 ha wildfire around Chernobyl nuclear power plant on this
34th Chernobyl accident date. Please see the wildfire news.(Also donation is sought for Dr. Bandazhevsky in the article above.) 今年はこの34年目の都市に、チェルノブイリ原発周辺で、57000haにわたる大規模火災もありました。上記の記事にあるBandazhevsky博士に募金を送りたいと思いますので、こちらもご覧ください。 https://savekidsjapan.blogspot.com/2020/04/urgent-help-needed-chernobyl.html
Thirty-three
years have passed since the accident at Reactor 4 at the Chernobyl nuclear
power plant, yet the seriousness of this event for all humanity is still of
concern. During the whole post-accident period, the nuclear lobby made many
efforts to weaken public interest in this event. First of all, emphasis was
made on the point that the tragedy had resulted in a small number of victims
that included only workers of the nuclear power plant and firefighters involved
in remedial actions to mitigate the consequences of the accident at the plant
(31 people) and those who were permanently living in the most contaminated
areas. It was concluded that the
total number of Chernobyl victims who would die of cancer and leukemia
throughout their life would be less than 4000 people [1]. Some attention was
also paid to migrants from reagions with very high soil cesium-137 contaminationlevels.
Representatives
of official medicine had little interest in population living in areas with
Cs-137 contamination levels of less than 5 Ci/km2. Increased
morbidity and mortality among the population from the affected areas were not
taken into account. After all, small doses of radiation from radionuclides
incorporated into the body do not cause specific diseases. It is only possible
to point at thyroid cancer whose incidence has risen dramatically after the
Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident. Deaths of thousands of people in the
areas contaminated with radionuclides were considered to be caused by naturalcauses.
Cs-137汚染レベルが5 Ci / km2未満の地域に住む人々に対しては、公的医療関係者の関心はほとんど払われなかった。影響を受けた地域の住民の罹患率と死亡率の増加は考慮されていない。結論として、体内に取り込まれた放射性核種からの少量の放射線は、特定の病気を引き起こさないとされ、チェルノブイリ原子力発電所事故後に発生率が劇的に上昇した甲状腺がんを指摘することのみが可能となっている。放射性核種で汚染された地域で数千人が死亡したのは、自然原因によるものとされた。
Scientific
findings showing that the entry of even relatively small amounts of Cs-137 into
the body caused serious damage to vital organs (Bandazhevsky Yu.I. et al.
1995-2019) were also ignored.
体内に比較的少量のCs-137が入っただけで重要な臓器に深刻な損傷が生じたことを示す科学的研究結果(Bandazhevsky Yu.I. et al.1995-2019)も無視された。
First
of all, one should mention cardiovascular diseases whose proportion in the
general morbidity and mortality has been very high. It is possible to link
heart and blood vessels damage to radiation exposure if radionuclides have been
determined in organs of dead people – inhabitants of the affected areas. This
was done at GomelState Medical Institute, which I had the
honor to be in charge of from the first days of its existence (November 1,
1990) until July 13, 1999- the day of my arrest. As a result of many years of work, radionuclide levels
had been determined in vital organs of dead children and adults - inhabitants
of the affected areas [2]; and we had found a relationship between damage to
the cellular structures of myocardium of children and adults and Cs-137 [3]. At
the same time, much attention was given to results of clinical laboratory
studies of children living in raions with different radiocaesium soil
contamination levels. Experimental studies on laboratory animals had showed
metabolic disorders in the heart and vital organs under conditions of the natural entry of radionuclides into the
body[4].
As a
result of studies, cardiomyopathy induced by Cs-137 had been identified[5].
研究の結果、セシウム137による心筋症が見いだされた[5]。
Special
attention should be paid to congenital disorders being the best marker for
endogenous and exogenous distress in the mother- fetus system. Clinical
observations of dead human embryos and newborns and experimental studies on
laboratory animals had clearly showed the negative impact of incorporated
radionuclides on prenatal ontogeny [3, 6].
Dystrophic
and necrobiotic changes in vital organs of dead embryos and newborns in the
presence of Cs-137 incorporation illustrate the negative impact of the ecosystem
established after the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident in 1986. That was
what the nuclear lobby was afraid of. Viewing the Chernobyl nuclear power plant
accident as the largest among all accidents in the nuclear power industry, the
nuclear lobby representatives each time focus on minor, in their opinion,
humanitarian consequences relating to the health of people directly contacting
radionuclides in the affected territory. And in this regard, dead human embryos
with congenital malformations which I and my colleagues found in raions of
Gomel oblast, the most affected oblast due to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant
accident [3], were the best evidence base for the adverse effects of the
existing radiation situation. My suspension from the position of Rector of
Gomel Medical Institute led to the termination of many unique research studies
dedicated to the effect of incorporated radionuclides on people living in a
territory affected by the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident, including the
prenatal development. Our results show that Cs-137 incorporated naturally into
the mother-embryo system contributes to multifactorial congenital
malformations, i.e. malformations based on genetic defects [7].
The
Institute for Congenital and Hereditary Diseases, Ministry of Health of the
Republic of Belarus, directed by Prof. G. I. Lazjuk, Associate Member of the
National Academy of Sciences, also assessed the effect of a radiation factor
occurred as a result of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident on the prenatal
development of human embryos. Gennady Ilyich established this unique Institute
back in Soviet times, and over the years, along with his highly qualified
students and colleagues he studied the morphologicalmanifestations (congenital defects) of human genetic disorders, also in
the context of consequences of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident. The
Institute was closed down in the beginning of the 21st century, as the nuclear
lobby was afraid of results of its activities.
Studies
conducted at Gomel State Medical Institute allow to conclude that victims of
the Chernobyl disaster are people living in areas contaminated with
radionuclides and eating local foods, including “forest gifts”. The victims of
this disaster should also include people who regularly consume foods containing
radioactive elements of Chernobyl origin. Taking into account the fact that in
the Republic of Belarus foods produced in Chernobyl-affected areas and
containing huge amounts of radionuclides are sent to radiation-free areas since
Soviet times, the population of these areas, especially children, should be
considered as victims of the Chernobyl disaster.
Almost
every inhabitant of the Republic of Belarus has experienced radiation exposure
directly. So it is no surprise that there has been an increase in
cardiovascular diseases and cancers due to this, including among children of
the second post-Chernobyl generation.
That
is why the country’s leadership should have asked for serious humanitarian aid
and support of the world community in the 1990s and not refused it, as it was
done. A method of assessment of radiation doses received by the population and
individuals formed the basis for governmental decisions to render assistance to
the population with a view to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident. A
concept based on results of effects of external radiation exposure on humans
was used. The influence of incorporated radionuclides on separate organs and
systems was hardly considered. However, millions of people have suffered and
aresufferingcurrently because radioactive elements have been entering and are
entering their body causing damage to vital organs and systems. These people
are not recognized as victims of the Chernobyl disaster at the state level.
This
is the main problem of Chernobyl and its negative impact on human health in the
long term.
このことこそが、チェルノブイリの主要問題であり、長期的に人間の健康に悪影響を及ぼしている。
It
is proved by results of research studies conducted within humanitarian projects
of the European Commission and the Rhone- Alpes Regional Council (France) in
Ukraine in 2013-2017. A medical examination of the majority of the child
population was conducted using modern instrumental and laboratory diagnostic
methods in Ivankovsky and Polessky raions of Kiev oblast directly adjacent to
the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. The obligatory measurement of radionuclide
concentrations was also carried out. These children belong to the second
post-Chernobyl generation born and permanently living in the territories
contaminated with radioactive elements.
The
use of medical and genetic methods of examination allowed to identify serious
abnormalities in their body being the cause of metabolic disorders under
conditions of existing environmental distress (radionuclides in the ecosystem)
(Bandazhevsky Yu.I., Dubovaya N.F., 2015-2019). At the same time, a number of
discoveries were made with respect to metabolic associations, and the
metabolism of the pituitary and thyroid hormones, calcium and phosphorus, and
vitamins. At present, children and adults from these raions are being exposed
to radiation due to the consumption of locally produced foods and forest gifts.
It should be emphasised that
radioactive elements, primarily Sr-90, are contained in large quantitiesinforesttrees,whichovertimehaveturnedintopowerful
sources of radiation. It still represents a threat to human health to contact
with them many years after the Chernobyl nuclear power plantaccident.
It
was possible to show an increase in the level of homocysteine (a marker of the
metabolic distress in the body) in the blood of children after fires in the
Chernobyl Exclusion Zone [8].
Radioactive
elements spread far beyond the affected areas, therefore people that do not
officially belong to the group of the affected people but basically are those
people may be exposed to radiation.
In
recent years this issue is particularly topical because of forest fires in the
Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
チェルノブイリ立入禁止区域での森林火災のため、近年この問題は特に話題になっている。
Radiation
exposure also occurs during the use of wood containing radionuclides for
domestic needs (cooking, heating).
放射線被曝はまた、家庭(調理、加熱)における放射性核種を含む木材の使用中にも発生する。
Under
the same conditions of existing radiation exposure, metabolic changes in
children of the second post-Chernobyl generation are more pronounced compared
to their parents who belong to the first post-Chernobyl generation [9]. These
children are even more sensitive to the effects of small amounts of
radionuclides and they can be classified as victims of the Chernobyl disaster.
Thus,
the existence of radiation in the environment as a result of the Chernobyl
disaster and its constant effect on humans suggests that there will be victims
of this disaster depending on the effect nature, duration and intensity and the
endogenous component (age, sex, genome, physiologicalcharacteristics).
At
the same time, the distance from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is not
decisive. The group of victims of the Chernobyl disaster should include persons
with congenital malformations at the organ, tissue and cellular levels, as well
as abnormal regulation of metabolism caused by radiation effect on the
processes of prenatal development of an embryo.
In
order to provide effective assistance to the population suffering from the
consequences of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident, it is necessary to
take into account the actual effects of incorporated radionuclides on human’s
vital organs and systems during all stages of antenatal and postnataldevelopment.
