"Scientific research has suggested that the conditions caused by a series nuclear detonations around the planet would be catastrophic for human health, the environment and almost all other living organisms."
"Following a nuclear war, diseases such as salmonella, dysentery, typhoid, malaria, dengue fever and encephalitis would spread widely among the survivors."
Nuclear war could result in tens of millions of deaths within minutes, but the aftermath would be even more devastating. Scientific research indicates that nuclear detonations would lead to severe health crises, environmental destruction, and the burning away of the ozone layer. Diseases would proliferate among survivors due to contaminated water and unburied corpses. The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists warns that the world is closer to annihilation than ever, exacerbated by geopolitical tensions and the end of nuclear arms treaties.
