The largest fraction of human exposures to environmental ionizing radiation is associated with the inhalation of Rn and its progeny20. Rn is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced during the uranium (U) and thorium (Th) decay chain in the Earth’s crust. Rn is the most significant rad...

Cost, bulk:per 100g Source:Polonium is a very rare element due to the short half-life of all its isotopes. It is found inuraniumores in minute quantities. It can be obtained by bombarding naturalbismuth,209Bi , with neutrons to give210Bi, which then decays to210Po via β decay. Approx...
