As the frequency of nuclear test has skyrocketed recently, international peace has become a hot topic. However, the Health issues of local and neighboring people can be another major concern.
The continuous nuke tests so far have caused earthquakes and radiation pollution in the related zones. A defector describes that children born with deformity and nuclear-affected workers are often observed. It is also said that residents near the affected zones have high chance to develop leukemia and other kinds of cancer. Lifespan of local people is shorter compared with other places.
The pollution has even crossed the border, into China. It has caused panic among residents of north-eastern provinces of China, especially those living close to North Korean border. Radioactive pollutants can 'travel' through air, food and water, causing severe health problems. Moreover, since they are invisible, it becomes easy for governments to cover up the facts
