"Nuclear Pollution" is a meaningless term. If what is meant is irradiation, and what is meant is the effect on human beings, then the major effect is radiation sickness - your hair and teeth fall out, your bones become deformed, you suffer from diorrhoea, you vomit a lot and you develop lesions and open sores on your skin.
However, irradiating fresh food increases the shelf life exponentially.
Answer:
Nuclear pollution might also be called radiation contamination or nuclear contamination. It could include :
- Radon exposure in houses
- Depleted uranium dusts from American munitions
- Accidental radiation releases
- Radioactive waste (luminous dials, smoke detector radioactive sources)
In all cases the impacts could include:
- cancer
- fetal damage
- poisoning as many radioactive materials are toxic
