チェルノブイリ　健康被害、事故の４～５年後 via 東京新聞

Posted on 2011/10/31 by norma field

放射線量は事故直後の三十分の一程度に下がったが、被ばくが原因とみられる病気はいまだ多い。日本では、放射線を浴びると、がんになる確率が高くなるといわれる。現地では、がんよりも、心臓病や脳梗塞、糖尿病、免疫不全になる人が大多数。子どもの糖尿病も目立つ。 事故後一年目の対応が、後の被害の大きさを左右する。内部被ばくで健康被害を生じた人の半数は、初期に放射性物質を含んだ空気を吸い込んだことが原因。マスクはとても大事だ。残りは汚染された食べ物を数年間にわたり食べ続けたことによる。結局、汚染された空気や食べ物をいかに体内に取り込まないかに尽きる。 続きは　チェルノブイリ　健康被害、事故の４～５年後

東京電力福島第１原発事故の収束作業のため東芝と鹿島が設置した作業員用シェルター（休憩所）が、法令による放射線管理区域の設定基準を超える放射線量を計測しているのに同区域に設定されていないことが分かった。このためシェルターで働く作業員は高線量を浴びながら「危険手当」を支払われていない。東芝などは東電が管理主体との見方を示す一方、東電は「シェルター設置者が線量管理を行う」と述べて見解が食い違っており、そのしわ寄せが作業員に及んでいる。 続きは　福島第１原発：作業員の休憩所は管理区域外…危険手当なく
