Acute Radiation Syndrome Signs and symptoms experienced by individuals exposed to acute whole body irradiation. Data collected largely through Japanese atomic bomb survivors at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Limited number of accidents at nuclear installations. Clinical radiotherapy. Well-characterized animal data base. LD 50 dose of human is ~4.5 Gy. Lethal Dose is ≥ 8 Gy

Human lethality as function of Dose A 50% lethality is reached at an accumulated dose of 450 cGy =450 rad=4.5 Gy. A 100 rad dose is survivable. A 800 rad dose is lethal.

Prodromal Radiation Syndrome Early symptoms that appear after exposure to whole body radiation: –gastrointestinal: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia –neuromuscular: easy fatigability Effect is dose dependent: –Varies in time of onset –Severity –Duration

Survival Chance For people who died within 2 days to 2 months after bomb explosion

Radiation Side Effects radiation sickness

Early Lethal Effects Hematopoietic syndrome: Cause of death at doses <8 Gy. Peak incidence of death occurs at about 30 days post- irradiation, and continues for up to 60 days. Suppresses normal bone marrow and spleen functions. Symptoms associated with hematopoietic syndrome are: chill, fatigue, hemorrhages, ulceration, infection and anemia. Death usually result unless receive bone marrow transplant.

Early Lethal Effects Gastrointestinal syndrome: Occurs at dose >10 Gy of gamma-rays or its equivalence. Death usually occurs within 3 to 10 days. Symptoms due largely to depopulation of the epithelial lining of the GI tract by radiation. No human has survived radiation dose >10 Gy. Clinical symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and prolong diarrhea, dehydration, loss of weight, complete exhaustion, and eventually death.

Early Lethal Effects Cerebrovascular syndrome: Identified at doses >100 Gy of gamma-rays. Death occurs within hours from cardiovascular and neuromuscular complications. Clinical manifestations include severe nausea, vomiting within minutes of exposure, disorientation, loss of muscular co-ordination, respiratory distress, seizures, coma and death.

Radiation-induced Mutagenesis Radiation DOES NOT produce new, unique mutations, but increases the incidence of the same mutations that occur spontaneously. Mutation incidence in humans is DOSE and DOSE-RATE dependent. A dose of 1 rem (10 mSv) per generation increases background mutation rate by 1%. Information on the genetic effects of radiation comes almost entirely from animal and IN VITRO studies. Children of A-bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki fail to show any significant genetic effects of radiation.

Tumor evolution in animal tests

Radiation Carcinogenesis A stochastic late effect. No threshold, an all or none effect. Severity is not dose related. Probability of carcinogenesis is dose dependent. Leukemia has the shortest latency period of ~5 years. Solid tumors have a latency period of ~20 to 30 years. Total cancer risk for whole body irradiation is one death per 10 4 individuals exposed to 1 rem.

Nagasaki Effects

Purpura, Vomiting, … Purpura, or bleeding under the skin, is one of the symptoms of acute radiation sickness. The heavily exposed survivors experienced fever, nausea, vomiting, lack of appetite, bloody diarrhea, epilation, purpura, sores in their throat or mouth (nasopharyngeal ulcers), and decay and ulceration of the gums about the teeth (necrotic gingivitis). The time of onset of these symptoms depends on the exposure level.

Long term effects - blindness Radiation damage to epithelial Cells. Damaged cells move to the back of the eye and cause lens opacity by blocking light. Occurs with 50% chance for people with dose of ~500 rad.

Epilation – severe loss of hair Hair loss is a common sign of radiation exposure & sickness. Severe epilation (2/3 hair loss) occurs at doses of >200 rad. 2km from hypocenter

Hemogram blood impact of 300 rad exposure

Radiation impact on bone marrow MORTALITY RATE ( % ) 100 rad = 1 Gy ≈ 1 Sv Radiation >2 Gy suppresses normal bone marrow functions and causes long term mutation of red or white blood cells

Leukemia When leukemia develops, the body produces large numbers of abnormal blood cells. In most types of leukemia, the abnormal cells are white blood cells. An increase in the number of leukemia cases was first noted in the late 1940s. As of 1990, there were 176 leukemia deaths among 50,113 survivors with significant exposures (>0.5Gy). It is estimated that about 90 of these deaths are associated with radiation exposure.
