[1] Now, X-rays during pregnancy are only given if absolutely necessary. It is no surprise that childhood leukemia increases within about three miles of nuclear reactors. Researchers theorize that exposure to radioactive pollution during pregnancy results in cancer during childhood. [2] [3] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a5f65f3403625ee8e0f83a/156d2669-7a27-4ad8-9965-04b67b039795/Card_Toddler+Eve.jpg HOME 2 - Radiation is harmful to anyone. Biological sex and age contribute to harm from exposure. Radiation regulations use a model called Reference Man. [1] When young girls are exposed to radiation, they suffer seven times more cancer than the Reference Man model predicts. Women suffer radiation harm more than men; girls are disproportionately harmed compared to boys, and all adults. [2] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a5f65f3403625ee8e0f83a/5e3a7096-5231-4ef4-bf48-81aab3728fcf/Card_Child+Eve.jpg HOME 2 - Children are more impacted by radiation than adults–this is in part because they are growing, and their cells are dividing more rapidly. Radiation is part of industrial society. Nuclear power releases radioactive pollution to air, water, and makes radioactive waste. Fallout from past above-ground nuclear weapons tests is still in our environment and our bodies. [1] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a5f65f3403625ee8e0f83a/5e7a4676-9adf-45a0-b59c-2931515fba90/Card_Young+Adult+Eve.jpg HOME 2 - There is no safe exposure to ionizing radiation. [1] In general, the more radiation, the higher the risk of developing disease. Preventing exposures in childhood can increase our lifelong health, and the health of our children. X-ray and CT images, and some medical procedures, are sources of radiation exposure. It is cumulative and results in cumulative impacts in our bodies [2] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a5f65f3403625ee8e0f83a/c74acbfd-7abe-4089-b173-d166a7e9e668/Card_Reproductive+Eve.jpg HOME 2 - In general, women have more fat than men. Some radioactive elements regularly released by nuclear power, like Xenon, collect in fatty tissue [1]. After the Three Mile Island (TMI) meltdown, release of radiation, and a week-long venting of radioactive pollution, breast cancer risk increased in the local population [2] as did lung cancer and leukemia [3]. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a5f65f3403625ee8e0f83a/90a6883b-8221-4fe6-992e-f1819216cb50/Card_Pregnant+Eve.jpg HOME 2 - Radioactive pollution contaminates our air, land, crops, livestock, and water resulting in internal radiation exposure due to breathing in or eating radioactive pollution. A fetus collects some radionuclides at greater concentrations than the mother [1] endangering the health of the pregnancy and raising the risk of cancer in childhood or later in life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a5f65f3403625ee8e0f83a/8c89856f-496a-450e-8416-9276c0f15be7/Card_Adult+Eve.jpg HOME 2 - Radiation exposure can cause diseases other than cancer. Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia, diseases that normally appear more in women than men, are associated with even low levels of radiation exposures. [1] [2] [3] Radiation exposure is also associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, including heart attack and stroke, and when radiation is the cause, women suffer more than men. [4] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a5f65f3403625ee8e0f83a/0e5a12b2-b583-41ca-a542-290e3d8d138e/Card_Grandma+Eve.jpg HOME 2 - Radioactive Radon gas when inhaled, travels to the brain. Radon decay products can cause Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and maybe multiple sclerosis. [1] Elders, as a group, are most likely to suffer cancer. Many things cause cancer, including radiation, where the exposure could be decades earlier. We can’t prove radiation caused a particular disease, nonetheless, no one can prove the opposite. https://www.atomsandeve.org/resources daily 0.75 2026-08-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a5f65f3403625ee8e0f83a/f5167fb9-86a0-4195-9641-66de4b537d5d/1-+First+Eve+flip+box+sonogram.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a5f65f3403625ee8e0f83a/c66ab2d8-6464-4daa-a6ec-81f9e41fd017/2-+Toddler+Eve.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a5f65f3403625ee8e0f83a/faa17dc3-5580-4ccf-a0ac-8a0e5714a6ff/3-+Child+Eve.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a5f65f3403625ee8e0f83a/cc330779-2d9e-4899-bbab-14950897cd2e/4-+Young+adult+Eve.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a5f65f3403625ee8e0f83a/f47f5464-cc46-497c-aec6-6ec0fd30fa82/5-+Reproductive+years.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a5f65f3403625ee8e0f83a/6d8fa587-ffa0-4280-9b73-29bc76f18b5c/6+-+Pregnant+Eve.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a5f65f3403625ee8e0f83a/05903213-6b27-46b6-934a-2d827112be02/7+-+Adult+Eve.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/68a5f65f3403625ee8e0f83a/98cb5771-5bc5-4e34-8634-00750b40e0c8/8+-+Grandma+Eve.png https://www.atomsandeve.org/contact daily 0.75 2026-08-14
