Radiogenic Disasters

Radiogenic disasters involve the release of harmful radioactive materials due to accidents or failures in nuclear facilities, natural events like earthquakes, or improper handling of radioactive substances. These incidents can contaminate air, water, and soil, posing serious health risks such as radiation sickness, cancer, and environmental damage. Unlike typical industrial accidents, radiogenic disasters involve invisible, long-lasting hazards that require specialized cleanup and significant safety measures to protect people and ecosystems from harmful radiation exposure.
