Birth Defects
DU (Depleted Uranium) was used by the Iraqi to attack Kuwaiti during the war in 1991. It is identified as a neurotoxin which is also known as "nerve poison". This disease can be passed down to other generations. (http://www.lenntech.com/environmental-effects-war.htm)
spinal bifida: it's one of the many birthday defects caused by the use of agent orange in Vietnam. Spina bifida (Latin: "split spine") is a developmental birth defects, caused by the incomplete closure of the embryonic neural tube. Some vertebrae overlying the spinal cord are not fully formed and remain unfused and open. If the opening is large enough, this allows a portion of the spinal cord to protrude through the opening in the bones. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spina_bifida
Vietnam war-human environment
Agent orange was planed to be use to clear out all the living trees so that Vietnam armies has no place to hide. But the consequences were far greater. resulted in spontaneous abortions, chloracne, skin and lung cancers, lower intelligence and emotional problems to children. When Americans sprayed the chemical, it was sprayed on many Vietnamese civilians , animals and plants, which result in many death. Many children where indirectly affect. This means that their parents were expose to the chemical "agent orange" and as a result their children were born out to carry mental and physical problems. And It is definite that Americans are to be blamed but Americans are saying that there are not enough evidence to prove this issue. http://www.lenntech.com/environmental-effects-war.htm
Environmental
Any thing flammable would be set off into flame
Nagasaki: Even buildings design to survive earthquakes collapse and blasted away.
Nagasaki: Water line broke this lead to the lack of water even 6 weeks after the explosion
Hiroshima: Fire combine with wind had cause a fire storm killing even more people those that survive the bomb.
Air pollution
Radioactive debris were still flying around
Many animals and plants were killed during the blast and more died later as the result of radioactive
Surface water were polluted by mostly radioactive wastes
The affect on Hiroshima was noticeable within 10km radius while in Nagasaki it was noticeable within 1 km radius
DU (Depleted Uranium) is discorvered later in the war, that it can cause lung and kidney cancers
Diseases caused or made posible by war
Congo War (II): HIV/AID
Radiation
Nuclear weapons usage (Japan and testing of atomic weapons)
Depleted uranium
Congo war:
3 million people died mainly from starvation and disease. 2 million people had became refugees and because of starvation people explode the National Parks by killing the wild life as bush meat either to eat or sell during the war.
