Ionizing Radiation
This collection was labeled ARS (Acute Radiation Syndrome) earlier, but I added links related nuclear energy disasters, as the health impact of ionizing radiation does not care about it's origin.I'm still looking for decent sources about ARS cases. Ionizing radiation was the first callenge for the Paracelsus paradigm. There is no safe dose, even low levels of radiation pose a risk and low increase of exposure increases it. Endocrine disruptors teach us way more about low level exposure.

Even low-level radioactivity is damaging, scientists conclude
Even the very lowest levels of radiation are harmful to life, scientists have concluded, reporting the results of a wide-ranging analysis of 46 peer-reviewed studies published over the past 40 years. Variation in low-level, natural background radiation was found to have small, but highly statistically significant, negative effects on DNA as well as several measures of health.

India’s nuclear industry pours its wastes into a river of death and disease | Center for Public IntegrityWorkers, village residents, and children near India's nuclear-related mines and factories are falling ill at high rates
In her new book “Yellow Dirt,” Judy Pasternak writes of a harrowing tale from Navajo country: how the U.S. government allowed uranium companies to walk away from hundreds of radioactive mines across the reservation. Not told of the danger, Navajos built their homes from the leftover ore and tailings. As Pasternak tells LOE’s Steve Curwood, four generations of people were sickened and are still being buried.

At about 10.30am on 17 January 1966, when Jesus Caceido heard a deafening explosion coming from the village of Palomares, the future mayor of the area had no idea he had just witnessed one of the Cold War's most serious nuclear accidents – or that nearly half a century later, the 1,500 villagers would still be battling to have the ensuing contamination removed for good. After all, they live in Europe's most radioactive village.
