ABSTRACT
The end of alpha emitters in fuels has changed the landscape in terms of how
pollutants have to be defined. It is clear that car and industrial “emissions” have
been typically condemned for the effects of alpha emitters (NORMs, etc.) in the
fumes, CO2 serving as pretext. New car fuels without alpha emitters allow to show
how CO2 makes a decisive contribution to the regeneration of forests through
photosynthesis. These effects are made obvious through a series of small case
studies analyzed thoroughly. The word “anthropometric” is used because it is
shown as well that a crematory component in the nuclear fallout makes forest
regeneration harder, because the dead human cells depositing on trees make
photosynthesis more difficult for them. The case of sodium-mash is discussed as
well and shown to be intermediary.
INTRODUCTION
There are clear elements allowing to state that CO2 is a key factor in forest regeneration after
nuclear fallout. These elements spill from the study of several areas having suffered from
nuclear fallout, with several profiles of nuclear fallout being investigated, and various results.
The activity of photosynthesis is essential to plant life, tree growth, and agriculture altogether.
Photosynthesis provides to plants the carbon they need to grow, which they separate from the
CO2 thanks to solar radiation (typically) but also certainly magmatic photon production. This
activity is endothermic, which means heat-taking. It is in other words essential for cooling down
the climate.
Plants restitute in exchange O2, which is essential for lung health, and other vital functions of
the organism indirectly, through the blood distribution of the O2.
The study shows, with simple observational cases, how the photosynthesis activity has been
the essential factor allowing for the regrowth of trees after nuclear fallout. It also shows that
crematory materials, i.e. dead human cells mixed in uranium and plutonium reduce
significantly the effect of photosynthesis, as dead human cells on trees create a barrier to later
photosynthesis. Cases with “mash” (i.e. uranized human body parts sliced and put in sodium for
fast plutogenization, as opposed to crematory systems in which fast neutrons are achieved by
putting the human body parts or entire bodies directly in an oven after the uranium shower
(gas chamber)) show intermediate results, which result from the later easiness of fission from
solar neutrons, both directly of the plutonium fallout (more present with sodium systems than

with crematory systems) and with the help of the sodium remains allowing also
replutogenization of the uranium fallout.
OBSERVATIONAL STUDY
The first set of materials used come from the surroundings of the Canjuers military camp that
caused depleted uranium fallout until mid-2020. Has to be taken into account, as well, the
elimination in new car fuels of radium and other alpha emitters since November 2021, making
new car CO2 emissions particularly efficient for tree regeneration.
The materials show how barriers on the border of the road that make impossible the spill of
the CO2 of the cars on the sides reduce sharply, on these sides where CO2 cannot spill, the
vegetation growth. For the good of the study, all pictures have been taken on a single day,
November 10th 2022.
Some effects of solar heating causing CO2 rise are also shown, with divergence in the area
where tree greening is observed.
The first point of observation is west of St Vallier de Thiey.
The picture shows clearly how the slow down of cars, reducing naturally CO2 emissions as
combustion reduces in the motor, creates a reduction of leaves on the trees closer to the speed
bump. This effect will be observed systematically with other car slowdown factors (sharp turns
in particular), as opposed to the proximity of traffic lights where cars stay for long with their
motor on.

The same point, facing the other direction, cars accelerate and there is no major deficit of tree
leaves / pines near the road. The barrier on the left makes circulation of CO2 farther to the left
difficult and the tree suffer.
This shows as well how a concrete barrier has blocked totally the way for CO2 to spill to trees,
causing total inability to develop. Trees below benefit. Another physical phenomenon has to be
taken into account, with kinetic break of the CO2 during the channeling through the road
