Radiation / Nuclear Exposure as Triggers or Causes of Thyroid Disease
Exposure to radiation in various forms, as well as proximity to nuclear plants, are all considered risk factors for thyroid problems. From Chernobyl to Hanford, from radiation for Hodgkins disase to nasal radium treatments, radiation is implicated as a cause of certain thyroid conditions.
