    The Devastating Impact of Nuclear Weapons on the Environment: Understanding the Processes of Destruction and the Challenges of Recovery
    Author(s): Mar Hteeniv*

    Nuclear weapons have a significant impact on the environment, both in the short and long term. The detonation of nuclear weapons releases a massive amount of energy in the form of a blast wave, intense heat, and radiation, causing physical damage to buildings, infrastructure, and natural environments. The release of radioactive particles can contaminate soil, water, and air, creating a significant hazard for plants, animals, and humans. The impact of nuclear weapons on the environment can also cause long-term consequences, including changes to weather patterns, crop yields, and ecosystems, leading to widespread famine, drought, and other environmental disasters. Recovery from these impacts depends on several factors, including the severity of the damage, the extent of contamination, and the time frame involved. While some areas may recover relatively quickly, others may take decades o.. View More»
