Murder with Radioactive Polonium Metal.
The physical and biological aspects of polonium-210, one of the most hazardous radioisotopes, are summarized. Although this radioisotope is naturally occurring and rare, it received quite a bit of attention after it was used in the 2006 assassination of former Russian Intelligence member Alexander Litvinenko in London. Recent reports on the suspected murder of Yasser Arafat with polonium-210 ar...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Radioactive Ingrowth and Decay of Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials in the Environment: An Analysis of Produced Fluids from the Marcellus Shale
BACKGROUND The economic value of unconventional natural gas resources has stimulated rapid globalization of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. However, natural radioactivity found in the large volumes of "produced fluids" generated by these technologies is emerging as an international environmental health concern. Current assessments of the radioactivity concentration in liquid waste...
متن کاملThorium and actinium polyphosphonate compounds as bone-seeking alpha particle-emitting agents.
The present study explores the use of alpha-particle-emitting, bone-seeking agents as candidates for targeted radiotherapy. Actinium and thorium 1,4,7,10 tetraazacyclododecane N,N',N'',N''' 1,4,7,10-tetra(methylene) phosphonic acid (DOTMP) and thorium-diethylene triamine N,N',N'' penta(methylene) phosphonic acid (DTMP) were prepared and their biodistribution evaluated in conventional Balb/C mic...
متن کاملCarcinogenesis by radioactive substances.
Knowledge of the potential dangers of exposure to radioactive substances and the insti tution of proper safety precautions have helped to reduce accidental exposures to radioactive substances. However, the carcinogenic hazard from them has by no means been eliminated, and, in spite of the exercise of reasonable care and the use of improved technics, accidents in the laboratory and indust ry may...
متن کاملPolish chemistry in the century of the discov - ery of polonium and radium
Chemistry International, 1998, Vol. 20, No. 5 sor of Physics at Vienna, Lvov and Cracow universities developed the theory of fluctuations in gases and, independently of Einstein, proposed the theory of Brownian motion. Subsequent experimental confirmation of the Einstein–Smoluchowski equation became one of the final proofs in the kinetic theory of matter. Great achievements in organic chemistry...
