Here is a snippet;

" - Plutonium is recognized as iron by the body and distributed by the blood system. It causes cancers and blood disorders. It has a half-life of 24.400 years and will be present in a 30 km radius around the Chernobyl site for many centuries to come

- Cesium 137 is mistaken for potassium and is absorbed by the muscles

- Iodine 131 is not recognized as a radioactive substance and is therefore absorbed by the thyroid gland. It causes thyroid cancer, particularly in children between 0 and 18 years old. An operation can save the children, but a scar known as the 'Belarussian Necklace' marks them as Chernobyl victims forever

- Strontium 90 is recognized by the body as calcium and causes leukemia upon distribution throughout the bone structure"
