In the Chernobyl area are not degradable, it will probably soon become a disaster

Fact, threats are environmental scientists concern since 1992, yet it will still much worse due to the dry summer over influenced by climate change.

Recent scientific research about the possibility of a forest fire can kernel will make Ukraine pay attention. The forests around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant-explosion of the past 28 years, not yet fully degradable and if all are flammable, radioactive material will spread out the quarantine area of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the zone has an area of 2600 sq. kilomét, located just 110 km north of Kiev.
Quarantine zones are many scientists to research, in which almost no insects, the birds develop extraordinary individuals like deformed beak, long tail feathers in a strange way and smaller brains.The trees also become more dense.




Scientists have been studying about the environment within the area since 1991 and they realize there many points above the trees here, specifically they describe as "the garbage accumulated significantly over time" in a study published in the journal Oecologia. Referred to "significant" news is scientists are indicating no tree decomposition, including fallen leaves on the ground.
This is especially true in the Red Forest, forests around Chernobyl is named as such because the tree turns almost ginger and die due to radioactive contamination at the highest level. In an interview with Smithsonian magazine, Timothy Mousseau-biologist at the University of South Carolina and is the main author of the study-that the plant "very" impressive ", while in the forests where I live, most of the trees as the sawdust after a decade of lying on the ground."
The main reason for not able to decomposition in the area around Chernobyl is caused by bacteria, fungi, bacteria, worms, insects and other creatures capable of decomposition are virtually non-existent. Mousseau and his team have discovered this after doing an experiment to leave 600 bags of leaves around Chernobyl in 2007.
When they collect the bags of leaves in 2008, they discovered that the bags filled with leaves placed in the area do not have radioactive decomposition 70-90%, but leaves in the area have only radioactive decay of about 40%. "We are concerned that there might be a forest fires in years to come," Mousseau shared with the Smithsonian.
Besides removing the substances caught fire, the decomposition is extremely necessary for plants to grow, because this process help put nutrients back into the land, and back to the environment in General. The difficult decomposition can also explain why those living around Chernobyl developed very slowly. They have absorbed radioactive substances such as strontium 90 isotope (causing bone cancer) and cesi 137 (causes nausea and can lead to death) in nearly three decades.
If these trees are burned, the radioactive molecules will disperse into the atmosphere and "people will be very easy to inhaling them" Scientific American magazine (SA) reported on last year according to a study in 2011. But besides that, the more harm is whole food is consumed every day such as milk and meat, will also be contaminated with radioactive substances.
Fact, threats are environmental scientists concern since 1992, yet it will still much worse due to the dry summer over influenced by climate change.
Fire has also been ordered to duty in isolation to prevent forest fires in the inside, but they "clearly is not prepared for the Wildfire situation in greater degree than" SA share, and they also almost no professional training as well as not equipped with protective clothing or respirators. The staff we're still tracking the situation by climbing up the six clock tower one day, with occasional help from helicopters. "Although equipped with Soviet tanks further improvements with the blade length 6 m to felling and milling plant is already dead, but they still leave the tree continued decomposition."

Yahoo's tragedy: life in life not knowing who you are

The fall of an Empire was once the gate takes the user to the World Wide Web derived from the Golden date, when not one of Yahoo employees actually understand their names associated with the field. In 2006, at a hotel in San Jose, California, United States, Yahoo held a summer holiday dedicated to the leadership of the company. At this time, Yahoo still is one of the "giants of the Internet" and I still don't have any signs of difficulties at all. On the contrary, when stepping through the tenth birthday, Yahoo still are on the peak. In the previous year, "the Internet giant" has already achieved 1.9 billion profit on revenue of 5.3 billion.The difficult days of the dot-com crisis was drifting away and at this Yahoo is enjoying dominant position on one of the "hot" areas for the world to gain a fertile advertising contracts with the world's most famous brands. But, in a game held at the Hotel San Jose, the head of Yahoo has asked a question interes...

China blatantly put patrol bombers of the East Coast

Long-range bomber of the H-6 k of China. (Photo: Reuters) China today 6/8 blatantly claimed to have taken the long-range bombers and fighters perform "combat patrol" on air in the East Coast. Xinhua quoted Chinese Air Force spokesman Shen Jinke today said, a number of military aircraft including long-range bomber of the H-6 k and Su-30 fighters were blatantly in the Beijing area to reclaim sovereignty non-storage in the East Coast. According to the notice of the Chinese air force, the aircraft was escorted by early warning planes and tanker aircraft. Beijing loudly saying, this is part of a training exercise to enhance the capacity of the Chinese air force before the "security threat". However, Beijing is not stated specifically time waves of this patrol. The above information was put out shortly after about 230 Chinese fishing vessel was escorted by the coast guard ship has blatantly gone into the waters around the disputed islands known as Senkaku in Japan, which ...

Admire the largest ship in the world, carried both the carrier or oil rig

Warships, the carrier is not able to apply the shipping form; oil rig or compelled new then be removed? Completely wrong. With the help of the following ships then just small talk. When there is the need to transport large cargo volume from elsewhere, maritime traffic is probably the best option although not optimized for speed. Thousands of such shipments that stretches around the world each year, create vibrant sea market not least the other form. And inevitable thing to happen, it is the appearance of the "Monster" capable of carrying excess, even bring all ... other ships on sea architecture, equipment, or any cargo that ships usually cannot kham. The ships carry weight is usually divided into two categories: the half-submerged to lift the ship up and transport; and the big ships help scrap, sort of means and equipment at the port. The first type is known as a semi-submersible floating half ship, with the long-hull underwater to help other media are raised, transported to...
