*New York Academy of Sciences challenges WHO’s estimates of mortality and
morbidity on Chernobyl*

*WHO estimates 50 deaths already and potentially, 4000 as a final total.
Independent researchers from all over the world, estimate 985,000 by 2004.

Alison Rosamund Katz



In February 2010, the New York Academy of Sciences published the most

complete and up-to-date collection of evidence, from independent, scientific

sources all over the world, on the health and environmental consequences

of the Chernobyl accident. For 24 years, through a high-level,
internationally

coordinated cover-up of the world’s most serious industrial accident, the

nuclear lobby has deprived the world of a unique and critically important

source of scientific information. The International Atomic Energy Agency

(IAEA), mouthpiece of the nuclear establishment, has coordinated the

cover-up through the dissemination and imposition of crude pseudo-science.

Regrettably, the World Health Organization, a U.N. agency on which the

world’s people rely for guidance, is subordinate to the IAEA in matters of

radiation and health, has participated in the cover-up, and stands accused
of

non-assistance to populations in danger. The new book on Chernobyl makes

available huge amounts of evidence from independent studies undertaken in

the affected countries, unique and valuable data that have been ignored by

the international health establishment. This comprehensive account of the
full

dimensions of the catastrophe reveals the shameful inadequacy of current

international assistance to the affected populations. It also demonstrates,

once more, that future energy options cannot include nuclear power.
