The Chernobyl disaster had a devastating impact on the health of children born in the affected areas. While some babies were born with severe birth defects, researchers found no evidence that radiation exposure caused genetic changes passed on to children. However, there was a significant increase in birth defects and rare types of cancer in areas near Chernobyl. These included genetic heart defects, thyroid disease, and other health issues.
It's important to note that the long-term health effects of radiation exposure are still being studied, and the full impact on Chernobyl babies may not be known for many years.
