What are the benefits and dangers of radioactivity?

- Radioactive substances are often used as tracers in medical investigations - They can also be used to treat some conditions such as cancer - Medical diagnostic - Isotopic sources of energy - Tracers in hydrology, biology, agriculture, etc. - Minerals dating in geology - Tracers in chemical industry - Tracers to study damage of metals, building materials, etc. - Radiochemical polymerization - Sterilization of foods, medical equipment, wastes - Smoke detectors - Water detectors and many others important applications. But uncontrolled use of radioactivity may be dangerous; internal contamination or external irradiation must be avoided.


Does technetium have a texture?

Technetium is a radioactive metal and its physical properties, including texture, are not commonly described. Due to its radioactivity, technetium is primarily studied and used in specialized scientific and medical applications rather than for its physical characteristics like texture.
