Define nuclear pollution?..

Answer / Alka Singh

Nuclear pollution refers to radioactive substances released during the production, use, or disposal of nuclear materials. Radioactive isotopes can have harmful effects on living organisms due to their ability to emit ionizing radiation, which damages DNA and cell structures. Common sources of nuclear pollution include nuclear power plants, nuclear weapons testing, and the transportation and storage of radioactive waste. Long-term exposure to high levels of radiation can lead to various health problems such as cancer and genetic mutations.
