Ecological Adversity: Unfathomable destruction will be caused to the natural resources. Apart from contaminating the air and water, several plant and animal species will be endangered. Large expanses of land will become uninhabitable. Humanity will also perish as a result of these effects. Genetic disorders and abnormalities will be one of the devastating effects of nuclear warfare.

Colossal Expenditure: The cost involved in the production of nuclear weapons is immense and even developing nations set aside a huge chunk of their budget for defense purposes. However, the present expenditure on nuclear weapons incurred by the world’s nuclear powers is several times the development aid that is given to developing countries.

Nuclear Waste: The disposal of nuclear waste will be a problem as long as nuclear production persists. Radioactive effluence if dumped into the sea harm marine life. However, this material cannot be buried either as it will pollute underground sources of water. Also nuclear waste remains radioactive for several centuries altogether.
