輻射塵放射線會不會不孕(影響生育)？

輻射塵放射線會不會不孕(影響生育)？









最近關於日本福島輻射塵的污染，每天報紙頭條報導輻射線幾萬倍？幾萬人可能罹癌？弄得是人心惶惶！尤其對住在日本東京、關東或仙台附近的人民來說，更是雪上加霜！
輻射線到底會不會引起不孕症？輻射線會引起人類健康的議題，在1997年有一份回顧性質的文獻很值得參考－認為全球核子試爆，核電廠會引起：
1. 不孕症。
2. 弱化人類的免疫系統。
3. 讓大自然的病毒、細菌變種，造成新的疾病。
4. 減少地球的氧氣濃度，從21％降到19％。
5. 臭氧層的破洞。
這是核子輻射五大人類健康影響的議題，尤其是針對〝輻射線會不會導致不孕症〞？之前曾經有過輻射線對精子、卵子影響的研究。在廣島、長崎，一個追蹤1000人50年之久的研究，發現生下的小孩並沒有先天性的畸形。美國癌症登記也發現，罹患睪丸癌的病人，用輻射線照射睪丸，在追蹤6.6年之後，一樣可以有71％生兒育女。但在大環境輻射線所引起的不孕症，在1997年這份回顧性質的文獻被強化。他們認為，因輻射線所導致的不孕症，越來越有可能；因為，有核子試爆；或者，類似核能發電。我們都知道，我們要用核能來當作能量的來源，就必須要引進核子原料；但是在1997年的紐約時報曾提到：更多的試管寶寶在試管嬰兒實驗室被製造出來，而這些都要付出代價。
在1960年代，有所謂的嬰兒潮，在一個地區國家，人口要能夠均衡，生育率2.1％。以美國來說，現在的生育率是降到1.6％；可是，在開發中的國家，現在都是低於3％，台灣的話大概是1.06％。根據最近的研究，從1950到1955年，全球的生育率是5％，今天，全球的生育率是2.8％，也就是勉強維持人口遞緩率。有兩個學者的言論，值得大家注意！
一、 Jhon.
C.約翰博士他警告，在核能發電及核子試爆對於人口的影響。他有一本著作叫做－《人口控制》。在《核子污染的人口控制》，他非常擔心，人口會受到核能發電汙染的影響。鑑之於以前全球的生育率是5％，現在是2.8％；的確是有數據提供佐證。想一想在1960年代所謂的嬰兒潮。
二、 另外有一個羅莎琳博士，她以前是美國總統的公共衛生顧問，她曾經在一封寫於1997年的私人信件中提到：在印度卡拉拉邦Kerala，當地的人民暴露在300～3000微雷德mrad／每年的輻射下，而一般人暴露的大約是低於300微雷德／每年。但是她也發現，在印度卡拉拉，當地人民似乎比較不容易生育。這是一封她的私人信件。
我們說第二次世界大戰以後，在美國有所謂的嬰兒潮，像柯林頓總統這個世代。在1945年到1963年，這稱為美國的嬰兒潮世代；可是美國人發現人口越來越少，而美國需要更多的移民人口。
這兩個言論，一個是約翰博士的《核污染下的人口控制》，一個是羅莎琳的私人信件，給了我們一個隱憂：核能污染的確有可能引起人口的下降，這跟生育力有關！為什麼會這樣？因為我們知道有份研究說，輻射線引起控制排卵的細胞的損傷；而控制排卵的細胞在我們的腦下垂體。
所以，過多的輻射線，的確存在著破壞排卵機制細胞的損傷。如果依常理來推，這是有可能的！HAZARDS OF LOW LEVEL RADIOACTIVITY

by Sara Shannon

Winter, 1998
Low level radioactivity includes the on-going amount of
radiation released from the everyday operation of the
world's 433 nuclear power plants, plus leaks and accidents.

(1) INFERTILITY
Radiation causes infertility. The global fertility rate has dropped
nearly half since 1955.

(2) WEAKENED IMMUNE SYSTEM
Radiation weakens the immune system. A hundred nation study on quality
of health found the United States was number one in 1943. By 1992, the
United States was number 100, according to a U.S. Public Health
Statistics Report. Globally health is deteriorating with incidence of
cancer, heart, allergies and infectious diseases increasing.

(3) MUTATED VIRUS AND BACTERIA
Even at low levels radiation may increase mutations of bacteria and
virus. Mutations are causing the appearance of new diseases such as
Reyes Syndrome, Legionnaire's Disease and Lyme Disease.

(4) LOSS OF OXYGEN GLOBALLY
The percentage of oxygen in the air is down to about 19 percent. The
expected amount is 21 percent of oxygen. Oxygen is formed by trees and
plankton. Trees and plankton are killed by radiation.

(5) OZONE BREAKDOWN
Large-scale breakdown of the protective ozone layer in the
stratosphere was initiated in 1958 by high atmosphere bomb tests, and
continues due to releases from power plants and reprocessing plants.
Radioactive Krypton-85 goes to the stratosphere where it greatly
enhances CFC ozone damage.

(6) SOLUTIONS
Clean, renewable energies: solar, thermal, photovoltaic, wind,
biomass, hydro and other renewable technologies.





(1) INFERTILITY
The global fertility rate has dropped by nearly half since 1955! The
cumulative effects of radiation-caused infertility raise the
possibility of gradual human extinction. We may be concerned about the
Pentagon backed globalization of trade, but there are more important
worries. This trade scenario to sell more goods is built on the
quicksand assumption that there will continue to be consumers.

Projected sales and quarterly growth are predicated on one variable
that can no longer be counted on -- living consumers. Escalating
infertility in the United States has forced couples to turn to the
fast emerging new world of assisted reproduction and pre-made embryos
in ever-growing numbers.

A front page New York Times article of November 23, 1997, "Clinics
Selling Embryos Made for Adoption" explains "Anguished infertile
couples are more than willing to pay for whatever infertility clinics
can offer."

Fear of the "population bomb" of the 1960's has turned into the "birth
dearth" of the 1990's.

The so-called replacement rate is 2.1 children, which is needed to
keep the population from falling. The current fertility rate in the
developed nations is 1.6 children per woman. In the less developed
countries it is now 3 and falling.

United States rates are below replacement for the last 25 years. From
1950 to 1955 the global fertility rate was 5. Today the total
fertility rate is 2.8.

According to a 1996 United Nations report, "World Population
prospects: The 1996 Revision," fifty one nations with 44 percent of
the world's people are now at, or below the replacement requirements.

Dr. John Gofman, an eminent scientist, medical doctor and eloquent
spokesman against the hazards of nuclear power, explained back in the
1970's, in his book Population Control Through Nuclear Pollution,
"that the worry about over-population would become a non-worry due to
radioactivity."

This is confirmed in the decline in fertility among those born at the
time of atmospheric bomb testing (1955-1963) see chart on next page.

Dr. Rosalie Bertell, mathematician, epidemiologist and President of
International Institute of Concern for Public Health has been
researching infertility for some years and feels it is the "cutting
edge" of radiation health damage, surpassing immune damage in the
extent of its implications, as it raises the possibility of human
extinction.

In response to questions on the status of this research, Dr. Rosalie
Bertell writes in a personal correspondence (November 1997): "We found
in Kerala, India, that when comparing people matched for socioeconomic
status, class, religion, occupation and life style, those living on
the high radiation background (300 to 3000 mrad per year) had twice
the rate of couples who want children but are unable to have children,
than we found for those living on the normal background soil (below
300 mrad per year). This has been released in press statements but it
is not published. You will have to take my word for it."

The Baby Boomers are the group born in the USA after the war, the
years 1945 through 1963, and these are the years of atmospheric bomb
testing as well as the start of the nuclear power industry. They show
a high rate of immune related diseases and also an increasing rate of
infertility. Data from the U.S. Public Health Service illustrate the
difference between fertility in the Baby Boomers and those who are
called Pre-Baby Boomers:

Percent Women Infertile, by Age
U.S. 1965 and 1976
Percent Percent
Infertile Infertile Percent
in 1965 in 1976 Change
Baby Boomers
Age 15-19 0.6 2.0 +1.4
Age 20-24 3.4 5.6 +2.2
Age 25-29 6.1 8.4 +2.3

Pre-Baby Boomers
Age 30-34 10.8 9.5 -1.3
Age 35-39 13.4 11.4 -2.0
Age 40-44 18.5 14.6 -3.9
(Reproductive Impairments Among Married Couples United States U.S.
Public Health Service, Washington, D.C., December 1982)
Two surveys, in 1965 and 1976, show that the percent of infertility of
the baby boomers increased, and the percent of infertility of the
pre-baby boomers born before bomb testing and nuclear power,
decreased.
