nuclear disaster in Chernobil, reduced mammal life in the environment, created many types of permanent tumors.

[[T]]A comprehensive research on natural life in Chernobil revealed that the number of mammals in the region has been reduced since nuclear explosion. In many animal species, tumors were detected. [

[[T]]The research conducted on animal species in the region around the plant, which lasts more than 3 years, was noted that nuclear pollution provides significant evidence on the biodiversity.

From South Carolina University Prof. Timothy Mousseau and Paris-Sud University Dr. Anders carried out Moller. The result of the research was published in the Ecological Indicators magazine.

In the framework of theresearch, insects in the region between 2006-2009, birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles and other creatures were counted and reviewed.

The situation of similar habitats, which are not affected by pollution in the region, with the number of nearby species of the plant in the scope ofresearch. [

In the research done before, still found that low-level radiation has negative effect on birds and insects.

Prof. Mousseau said that new researches, mammals and reptiles are "strong indicator" that the biodiversity decreases in the region.

In addition to the influence of radiation pollution on animals. Mousseau and Moller, which clearly indicates the effect of pollution, especially on birds, detected tumors in the feet, necks and eye circles of the crumbs.

Prof. Mousseau said that research is the first rigorous counting work, which shows that mammals are significantly affected by radiation pollution.
