If hes been studying Chernobyl for 10 years I wonder how much radiation he's received over that time and if it will have a negative effect on him. It's also fascinating that some animals have adapted to the radiation levels there
I would think there would be some damage right? Because radiation is cumulative.
@@AmethystEyes Your right in radiation is cumulative but there can also be a lethal acute dose. I know in the cumulative manner it can effect a person decades later from interfering with the replication process of your DNA which happens thousands of times in ones life
I've seen documentary news of scientists from various countries fly to Chernobyl and all the time with radiation counters and they claimed to puck up more radiation on the flights over North Artic in daytime than on the ground in Chernobyl unless they go into 5 mile radius of nuclear plant . You wonder who is telling the truth . I wouldn't go near any nuclear plant or facility of any type . I absolutely refuse to even have a microwave in the kitchen .

its barely above the amount of radiation you get from a plane trip, its harmless there now, just annual exposure is above what is recommended, but not a huge amount above.
If you don't stay too long and If you don't go in the core of the power plant where there's the molten uranium you'll be just fine. And btw as long as those animals don't get into his body, to touch them isn't dangerous.
Touch has nothing to do with it. If it is radioactive enough to affect you, it is the area (not contact) that would be the problem.

"pretty darn radioactive" says the guy wearing no protection what's so ever
They must believe that radiation exposure is a joke. Not for all the money in the world.
There's no protection you can wear for the type of radiation thats the most abundant in Chernobyl
It took me quite a while to realize that when hes reffering to "hot" and "cold" areas, he means radiation levels, not climate
There's not much additional gear one can wear to protect a person from the radiation.
As long as the researchers limit their exposure to the hot zones, they aren't subjecting themselves to significantly increased risks.
'whatsoever' is a single compound word

So this guy is also studying the effects of radiation to himself too? Not all heros wear capes.... or a hazmat suit...
That's all I kept wondering was just how much exposure has this guy had? He's been studying the areas for years and he's just walking around no suit or anything pointing a Geiger counter at mushrooms and bugs like yep that sure has a high level of radiation... What about you dude?
I dont think its that much radio active anymore that it can effect people. And almost everything you see there now is fake. Chernobyl is world famous and attracts alot of people, they kinda made a carnival out of it
Those effects are only noticeable during long term exposure.
You are fine as long as you have short periods of exposure. The only really dangerous places are the Hospital Basement, inside and directly around the plant, and in any places where debris landed from the initial explosion.
The Hospital Basement is where the Firefighters dropped all their gear after trying to fight the fire. I do believe a concrete wall was built around the internal reactor bits (I don't know much about reactors). This keeps people from going in. Samples of radioactive material were chipped off with rifle shots in order to eliminate exposure time.
Chernobyl and Pripyat are fairly safe. I mean, people do live there and thousands probably visit every two or three years so, he's probably fine.
the other guy is wearing a suit.
That’s a very good video, i wish it was longer.
I spoke to a woman whose husband worked around there as a scientist, and she told me he says the cats around Chernobyl are really pretty. It would have been interesting to see more of the animals around there.

@@Xavilian It is. When the animals eat things with radiation it multiplies the levels
@@Xavilian It may be low but they are still exposed to it. Long time exposure to radiation will lead to health risk.

And he counts himself as one of the test subjects of his studies slowly becoming one of them through the years. His earlier photos show that he wore protection but now apparently he thinks he is immune even though everyone else is wearing protection around him.
Protective gear only avoids incorporation of radioactive particles (which is the most dangerous type of exposure).
The protective gear does NOT protect against (gamma) radiation. The only protection against gamma radiation is to keep exposure time short
However, having radioactive material directly on your unprotected skin (so alpha and beta rays can reach live tissues) is also not a smart idea. I would at least wear gloves.
@@norbertfleck812 ain't nobody got time for that😂
not much you can do to protect yourself against gamma radiantion, only way to to sit behind a wall of lead or concrete, but that isnt really portable
@@norbertfleck812 what about lead?
This is so interesting. For comparison - short term high radiation levels (UV or ionizing) are used to create new varieties (mutants) of many plants, but in the case of Chernobyl the radiation levels are relatively low but persistent. The fact that they're finding many mutations and abnormalities unfortunately can suggest that the extent of lies and censorship regarding the real impact of the disaster on human health might be even greater than most of us assume.
Its about time we get to study the effects of there areas on all types of wildlife so we may understand the effects devistations like this has.

The red bugs live here in austria too but i only saw them in one certain spot in my city weird
I would be interested to find studies done on Hanford Reach, USA. While no catastrophic events have occurred, during the earlier years there was a plethora of unmarked radioactive dump sites, and tons of radioactive material buried in the ground. Most of it was from the era they were making weapons grade plutonium. There have been rabbits caught and found to be 'hot' with radiation. Bird nests knocked down on site, and workers told to avoid the area as their droppings were hot as well. But it also has some of the best thriving elk populations, with higher calving rates and survival rates, probably due to lack of hunting but it would be interesting to find if the area has any impact on it.
Why isnt he wearing anything protective.
thats what i was thinking
+Cold Soul King Correct me if I'm wrong, but if he frequently goes there with no protection wouldn't the effect become harmful overtime? Like how for the same reason any doctor who gives an X-ray outs on a lead vest to do it, even if it only exposes them a bit.
+Hollow Marthon An X-ray test actually gives more radiation to you than you standing in the edge of Chernobyl for 4-5 hours. Radiation is measured in micro sieverts and 1 banana has about 0.1 microsieverts, so 45 microsieverts per hour (at the edge of Chernobyl) isn't too much for him to wear a suit. Also, it takes about 2 million microsieverts, or 2 sieverts for a person to be fatally injured by radiation damage, so he won't need a suit unless he tries to experiment at the center of the incident, where it could reach to a number of maybe 5000 microsieverts per hour.
+Cold Soul King i mean that breathing in even one radioactive particle could cause you a cancer few years later.

Renato STINGER lmao
Renato STINGER tru there were no animals
Now they can do studies on the Russian occupiers of Chernobyl too.
Those red bugs are called "firemen" or "fire fighters" and i can confirm that such abnormalities are present even outside of chernobyl BUT not far away from it (~75-100 kilometers from the "abandoned" zone) i think these mutated ones could've spread the mutated gene so far, but im not sure
When i was young i saw alot of them in romania , about 1000km from Chernobyl.
I expected to see a 5 foot spider. Sad!
This sounds like a Trump comment. Exposed!
Bonk A Donk Unoriginal comment. Dismissed!

Radiation won't do that, for insects to become significantly larger there must be a richer oxygen level in the area.
ThatBugBehindYou You gotta help my mom! She's in there with the Radroaches!

Wasnt it C02?
I think the biggest problem is that people think that Fukishima is anything remotely like Chernobyl. They are completely different in almost every single way. But don't bother to read the actual scientific papers on the subject. All you need to hear is the word nuclear and you'll all freak the hell out. You should also realize that a Chernobyl like accident is literally impossible in a modern reactor as is what happened at Fukishima. Chernobyl was basically a nuclear power plant in a paper bag and Fukishima was ready to be shutdown precisely because of what happened and even that took one of the largest earthquakes on record. A modern nuclear power plant is not susceptible to any of these. Keep screaming about the dangers of nuclear power and we'll keep spewing coal into the air and we'll choke us all to death while we avoid the so-called dangers of nuclear power. With coal, we are destroying the planet far worse than even Chernobyl can do but fear mongering will prevent sensible discussion about clean, cheap nuclear power. If you want to stop climate change then I suggest we build a few thousand nuclear power plants around the world instead of burning coal, oil and so-called clean natural gas. But let's not let common sense get in the way.
Abiogenesis is an embarrassment! No chemistry supports it!
5tonyvvvv Are you sure? Because...I'd say that little experiment they did when they made RNA from non-living matter would say otherwise.
ffffffffffff I'd say it was more paranoid, post-cold war "neo-hippies" that contributed more to that than anything. You know the kind, the "green thumb", spiritualistic, environmentalists. The kinds that smell of funky and probably have a shrine to Ghandi somewhere in their place of residence.
Do a pt2!!
More, please.
Good thing they didn't stumble upon a radroach
Lol or a deathclaw.
+JC I hate those flying bugs far more.
+GhettoHouseinLA As long as they use RadX, they couldve swam in the reactor core.
+GhettoHouseinLA that last bug did kinda look like one in the early days of the aftermath of the great war.
or a mongrel
A wild gopnik was squatting in the bush to make sure the American spy didn't find his adidas stash
oh nyet cyka!
AY CYKA!
Adidas 😂😂😂
Fascinating
“Creatures” you saw on thumbnail and on 04:11 called “Soldatiki” or “little soldiers”. They all around on exUSSR. very tiny and fun looking spices. :)
