Categories: Lifetime Achievement and Special Recognition – 2014
After the Chernobyl catastrophe, the doctor and radiation biologist Edmund Lengfelder immediately went to the Chernobyl site to see the consequences for himself. In 1987, he published a detailed map of the Chernobyl contamination in southern Bavaria; in 1991, he founded a medical centre in Gomel, where to date well over 100,000 children and adults suffering from thyroid disease have been treated. He received the NFFA for his life’s work.
