Unusual evolution of tree frog populations in the Chernobyl exclusion zone

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 15, Issue 2, Page 203-219, February 2022., 2022
Abstract Despite the ubiquity of pollutants in the environment, their long‐term ecological consequences are not always clear and still poorly studied. This is the case concerning the radioactive contamination of the environment following the major nuclear accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

Uranium Recovery from Phosphates for Self‐Sufficient Nuclear Power in the Eastern Mediterranean

Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Production of phosphate fertilizers (PF), without uranium recovery, amounts to dispersing uranium compounds on agricultural fields. These compounds are naturally hidden in phosphate rock deposits prior to processing. Such a dispersion is a cumulative environmental damage, that may become rather catastrophic in few hundred years, under the current rates

Comparable response of wild rodent gut microbiome to anthropogenic habitat contamination

Molecular Ecology, Volume 30, Issue 14, Page 3485-3499, July 2021., 2021
Abstract Species identity is thought to dominate over environment in shaping wild rodent gut microbiota, but it remains unknown whether the responses of host gut microbiota to shared anthropogenic habitat impacts are species‐specific or if the general gut microbiota response is similar across host species.

The Emergency Workers Medical Observation at the Long Time after the Chernobyl NPP Accident [PDF]

Radioprotection, 2008
The approximately 500 emergency workers (liquidators) have been observed in the Treatment and Diagnostic center (Obninsk, Russia). The majority of them were men worked in Chernobyl NPP area in 1986. The total dose of external irradiation was up to 250 mSv. The basic pathology was cardiovascular diseases: ischemic heart disease, hypertension, multifocal
