Effects of the Chernobyl disaster contaminated feed that was available to the cows and much of the contamination was isolated. In humans, ingestion of milk containing abnormally high levels of iodine radionuclides was the precursor for thyroid disease, especially in children and in the immunocompromised. Some plants and animals were able to adapt to the increased radiation levels present in and around Chernobyl.

This species of plant has been able to develop mechanisms to tolerate chronic radiation that would otherwise be harmful or lethal to other
