Gaseous products of a disintegrating radioactive substance such as thoron or radon?
The gaseous products of a disintegrating radioactive substance such as thoron or radon usually include isotopes of helium or polonium. These isotopes are formed as a result of radioactive decay and are emitted in the form of gas. They can pose a health risk if inhaled, as they are radioactive and can accumulate in the lungs.
What can plutonium do to harm you?
because it causes lung/health issues and diseases.......
Why do you choose isotopes with medium long half-lives as emitter in radiotheraphy?
Mainly for two reasons:to reduce as far as possible the radioactivity and hence reduce the radioactivity passive health effects; as the element radioactivity is inversely proportional to its the half live.To reduce as far possible the loss of the radioactive element through its radioactive decay during storage for non use.
Explain the radioactive pollutionwhat are its consequences on environment and human health with the help of second world war and prolifereation of nuclear energy resources in the world?
Radioactive fallout has resulted from atmospheric nuclear weapon explosions. The first were in Japan in WW2, at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but subsequently both the US, Russia, and the UK carried out tests in the atmosphere. Nuclear fallout resulted but apart from locally to the test sites this has not presented any great problems. Some population evacuations have been carried out particularly in the Pacific islands as a result of US tests. Radioactive fallout just means the deposition after the test of active dust etc which is carried up to a height by the explosion and then drops back to earth.
