Wind and rain played significant roles in spreading contamination from the Chernobyl disaster. After the reactor explosion in 1986, radioactive particles were released into the atmosphere, and wind carried these particles over vast distances, contaminating areas far from the site. Rainfall helped to wash these particles out of the air, causing them to settle on the ground and contaminate soil and water sources. This combination of wind and rain facilitated a widespread distribution of radioactive materials, impacting both the environment and human health in affected regions.
