The chances of being involved in a nuclear accident are slim. However, if it does happen, expert Joaqu\u00edn Silvestre-Albero explains why a coconut can save your life.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Radioactivity \u2013 which describes the energetic disintegration of atoms \u2013 is a constant presence in our lives. There are radioactive gases in the air we breathe, and even our own bodies contain naturally occurring radioactive elements.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reality is that your body is exposed to radiation daily,\u201d notes Silvestre-Albero, a professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Alicante<\/a> in Spain. \u201cIn usual doses, this is not dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dangers of high doses<\/span><\/h6>\n

However, lengthy exposure to radioactive material (perhaps through a course of cancer therapy) or high doses caused by a nuclear power plant accident can cause what is known as acute radiation syndrome (ARS).<\/p>\n

This happens when extensive radiation ionises molecules and breaks chemical bonds, causing malfunctions in the workings of our cells. This can also create what are known as reactive radicals, errant chemicals which damage biological molecules and disrupt physiological processes.<\/p>\n

The effects of ARS \u2013 also known as radiation sickness \u2013 can be catastrophic. Symptoms can range from a loss of appetite, fatigue and nausea to serious conditions such as seizures, coma and even cancer.<\/p>\n

The size of the dosage is what matters when assessing risk. For example, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster of 1986 \u2013 which resulted in airborne radioactive contaminants being released and blown across large parts of Europe \u2013 led to numerous cases of ARS. \u201cEven residents in Kiev were exposed to large doses of radiation,\u201d says Silvestre-Albero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

European Union Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Risk Mitigation Centres of Excellence Initiative<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
New approaches to radiation sickness<\/span><\/h6>\n

This led Ukrainian scientists to think differently about radiation sickness. They recognised that acute radiation gave rise to molecules in the body that caused cancers and other illnesses. Addressing these, they thought, could tackle the problem. This led to the NanoMed<\/a> project, which was funded by the Marie Sk\u0142odowska-Curie Actions<\/a> programme and managed by Silvestre-Albero. \u201cThe idea, very much pioneered by our Ukrainian partners in the project, was to find a way of filtering blood using a biocompatible material,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

The project used activated carbon and pectin \u2013 extracted from biomass such as coconut shells and white cabbage \u2013 in the form of a tablet, to absorb and remove toxic heavy metals and radicals from the bloodstream. \u201cThe idea is that the carbon \u2018traps\u2019 these toxins in your body before they can cause damage,\u201d explains Silvestre-Albero.<\/p>\n

The Russian invasion of Ukraine unfortunately halted the progress made in the NanoMed project. Nonetheless, Silvestre-Albero is still in touch with his Ukrainian colleagues \u2013 many of whom have had to flee the country \u2013 and is clear about where this research needs to go next.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t take activated carbon tablets daily, as this will \u2018trap\u2019 positive things such as vitamins and nutrients,\u201d he says. \u201cSo, given that we are exposed to radiation daily, the key question is this: what is the minimal radiation dose needed to produce these harmful molecules in the body? If we knew this, then we might be able to know when intervention with a tablet such as this might be useful.\u201d<\/p>\n
