The initial death count in Hiroshima, set at 42,000-93,000, was based solely on the disposal of bodies, and was thus much too low. Later surveys covered body counts, missing persons, and neighborhood surveys during the first months after the bombing, yielding a more reliable estimate of 130,000 dead as of November 1945. A similar survey by officials in Nagasaki set its death toll at 60,000-70,000. (Its plutonium bomb was more powerful, but its destructive range was limited by surrounding hills and mountains).
Additional counts indicated high levels of short-term mortality in both cities:
-Over 90% of persons within 500 meters (1,600 ft.) of ground zero in both cities died.
-At 1.5 km (almost one mile), over 2/3 were casualties, and 1/3 died.
-Of those at a distance of 2 km (1.2 mi.), half were casualties, 10% of whom died.
-Casualties dropped to 10% at distances over 4 km (2.4 mi.)

It was destroyed as well the deaths it brought.
The temperature at the hypocenter of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima reached around 7,000 degrees Fahrenheit (3,870 degrees Celsius). This extreme heat generated a powerful fireball and caused widespread destruction in the city.

The Hiroshima atomic bomb caused significant soil contamination with radioactive materials like cesium-137 and strontium-90. This contamination had long-lasting effects on soil health and fertility and posed serious risks to human health and the environment. Reclamation and decontamination efforts have been ongoing to mitigate these effects.
