Very nearly 100% of cesium found in nature is not radioactive. Nevertheless, cesium has the highest number of isotopes of any element, 32, and all but one are radioactive.
There are three radioactive isotopes of cesium produced in fission, and when one hears with concern that cesium was released in a nuclear accident, the reference is to two of these with half lives long enough to remain for some time.
A tiny amount of cesium-137, a fission byproduct, is present in soil worldwide as a result of nuclear bomb testing. This material has a half life of about 37 years, and so is declining. Very small amounts are lost from nuclear power plants from time to time, and there was fair amount lost into the environment near the Chernobyl plant; in fact there was enough that mushrooms, which concentrate cesium, have historically been considered unsafe to eat if they grew in that area, because of the amount they contained.
Cesium-135, which has a half life of nearly three million years, is also an important byproduct of fission. Since its immediate precursor, xenon-135, has a large neutron capture cross section, most of it is changed into xenon-136, and not much cesium-135 is produced in nuclear reactors, where it is only about 0.7% of the waste product. In nature, however, the xenon-135 nearly all decays into cesium, and over 6% of the byproduct of the waste of natural uranium fission is cesium-135. This being the case, it can be found in traces in uranium ore deposits.
There are different isotopes of Caesium, most of them radioactive. Still the type of radiation differs strongly between isotops, from practically harmless to extremly dangerous. As long as you don't know which isotope of Cs you are handling you will not know what radiation precautions to follow.
When cesium touches water, it reacts violently, producing explosive hydrogen gas and igniting the cesium. This is due to the highly exothermic reaction between cesium and water, which releases a large amount of heat. It is extremely dangerous and should never be attempted.
cesium phosphide
Cesium Nitride
Cesium Chromate = Cs2CrO4
The formula for Cesium Peroxide is: Cs2O2

Not normally, but Humans are dangerous to them.
no I am pretty sure that they are not dangerous to humans
When water is mixed with cesium, a highly reactive alkali metal, a violent chemical reaction occurs. The cesium reacts with water to produce cesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases a significant amount of heat, and the hydrogen gas produced can ignite, potentially leading to a dangerous explosion. Extreme caution should be taken when handling cesium and water to prevent accidents.
no I am pretty sure that they are not dangerous to humans
oil tankers are dangerous to humans by the pollution of the environment
Is It dangerous for humans to get pregnant? NO!
Only as dangerous as their humans.
The compound formed between sulfur and cesium is called cesium sulfide.
no
discus for me about the dangerous of lions
its super dangerous
