It has been 30 years since the worst accident in the history of the nuclear era occurred at the Chernobyl power plant in Ukraine close to densely populated urban areas. To date, epidemiological studies reported increased long-term risks of leukemia, cardiovascular diseases, and cataracts among cleanup workers and of thyroid cancer and non-malignant diseases in those exposed as children and adolescents. Mental health effects were the most significant public health consequence of the accident in the three most contaminated countries of Ukraine, Belarus, and the Russian Federation. Timely and clear communication with affected populations emerged as one of the main lessons in the aftermath of the Chernobyl nuclear accident.
30年前,核时代历史上最严重的事故发生在乌克兰靠近人口密集市区的切尔诺贝利核电站。迄今为止,流行病学研究报告称,清理工人患白血病、心血管疾病和白内障的长期风险增加,儿童和青少年时期受辐射者患甲状腺癌和非恶性疾病的风险增加。在乌克兰、白俄罗斯和俄罗斯联邦这三个受污染最严重的国家,心理健康影响是该事故最重大的公共卫生后果。与受影响人群进行及时、清晰的沟通成为切尔诺贝利核事故后主要的经验教训之一。
