THE ECOLOGY OF THE CHERNOBYL CATASTROPHE
Scientific Outlines of an International Programme of Collaborative Research

When reactor number 4 of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded on 26 April 
1986, it permanently changed the lives of more than 4 million people living in 
Belarus, Ukraine and Russia, and led to a whole swathe of economic, environmental, 
social, medical and political repercussions.

The present volume reviews eight years' study of the ecological impact of Chernobyl 
on the environment, natural ecosystems, agro-ecosystems, human ecology, biological 
diversity, and genetic and socio-economic systems, with each of seven chapters 
containing an overview of present understanding, scientific hypotheses and research 
recommendations. A final chapter describes the setting up and aims of the 
multinational and multidimensional Chernobyl Ecological Science Network.

It is hoped that the volume will provide a useful source of information and reference 
to researchers and others concerned with the post-Chernobyl phenomenon, and more 
broadly with the large-scale, multidimensional effects of human technology that is 
allowed to get out of control. The author is geneticist Vladimir Savchenko, member 
of the Academy of Sciences of Belarus in Minsk.
