Residents in the >surrounding area became unwitting guinea pigs, exposed to the aftereffects of >the bombs both intentionally and unintentionally. The radiation has silently >devastated three generations of people in Kazakhstan - the total number affected >is thought to be more than one million - creating health problems ranging from >thyroid diseases, cancer, birth defects, deformities, premature aging, and >cardiovascular diseases. Life expectancy in the area is seven years less than the >national average of Kazakhstan.
