"How the Other Half Lives" by Jacob Riis led to increased awareness of the poor living conditions in New York City tenements in the late 19th century. It helped to spark reforms in housing and urban planning, leading to improved living conditions for many working-class and immigrant families. Riis' work also inspired a shift toward social documentary Photography as a means of advocating for social change.

What is the problem with disposing of radioactive wastes is that they have a long what?

Radioactive substances have half-lives. This is because the isotope constantly is changing from the radioactive isotope to a daughter element. For example, eventually, when uranium's radioactivity is gone, it becomes lead. After one half life of a radioactive substance, only 50% of that substance is still radioactive. Therefore, after one half-life, a piece of uranium is 50% lead and therefore %50 less radioactive. After another half-life, it has 25% of the original radioactivity, and 75% of the original uranium has become lead. This is the problem with radioactive wastes. It takes many years just for one half lives for some substances, such as uranium. Because radioactivity is harmful, those substances have to be stored until they are no longer radioactive. So, in short, the problem with disposing of radioactive wastes is that they have long half-lives. (although this is not true with ALL substances because some have short half-lives, but, in general, radioactive substances have long half-lives.
