 Air Pollution
– Smoke & different gases release

3. Environmental Impacts Of Bomb

4. Environmental Impacts Of Bomb

5. Environmental Impacts Of Bomb
 Heat Effect:
– Increase in air temperature
– Expansion of air pressure

6. Environmental Impacts Of Bomb
At 3.2km, 20 million Degree Fahrenheit increase in temp

7. Victims

8. Environmental Impacts Of Bomb
 Low frequency sonar
– Produces very loud sounds- 235 dB.
– Can injure, deafen and even kill
cetaceans and other marine life.

9. Environmental Impacts Of Bomb
 Radiation health effects
– Radiation = high-energy particles: gamma
(γ) rays, X-rays, neutrons and
electrons [beta (β) rays].
 These radiation decreases with time
- 80% gone in 1 day
- 90% gone in the first week
- the rest lasts for months

10. Environmental Impacts Of
Bomb
– Central nervous system dysfunction
– Gastrointestinal damage
– Uncontrolled internal bleeding
– Bleeding from within the skin
– Genetic disorders
– Increased risk of developing cancer for
survivors
– Death

11. Enviromental Impacts Of Bomb
 Adverse effects on wildlife.
 Possible elimination of species.
 Disruption of entire ecosystems.
