    Radiation levels in parts of Iraq — including the heavily populated capital — are an environmental disaster that must be investigated and remedied, parliament member Hassan Salem and his Iraqi National Alliance electoral coalition maintain.
    The level of contamination actually rises at times as more radioactive remnants of war are uncovered. Children, unaware but fascinated, find and play with irradiated leftovers, such as abandoned vehicles and military equipment. ​[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], some of whom are children, contribute to the spread of contamination, and unsuspecting [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] actually burn contaminated bricks in furnaces for fuel.

    According to Jan. 26 [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], 1,000 families are breathing air contaminated with radiation in Sadr City. Dr. Ali al-Taie, a resident of the city, told Al-Monitor, “[Diseases] due to radioactive contamination date back a long time, given the abandoned military equipment, remnants of wars and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] under the rule of Saddam Hussein.
