Isotopes as tracers can be easy to follow even if you are in low concentration and also by non-invasive(distructive) methods.

Tracers like technetium-99m are used in medical imaging to diagnose conditions like cancer and heart disease. In environmental science, isotopes like carbon-14 are used to trace the movement of pollutants in ecosystems. Radioactive isotopes work as tracers because they can be easily detected using specialized equipment, allowing scientists to track their movement and behavior with high sensitivity and accuracy.
