Chernobyl Long Term Effects: An Increased Incidence In  Cancer Development

Original long-term effects: An increased incidence in 
cancer development (with a strong correlation between dose of radiation and frequency of cancer). Reduced 
T cell counts and altered immune functions, leading to higher rates of infection. A wide variety of 
organ-specific health effects (e.g. liver cirrhosis, cataract induction, etc.)

Chernobyl had more 
thyroid disease and congenital abnormalities, while the environment has been affected by 
variations due to bioaccumulation
