gauging. In the area of medicine‚ Cobalt-60 is used in cancer radiotherapy. b) Describe how the radioisotope is made. Radioactive cobalt-60 is produced in a process called activation‚ when materials in reactors‚ such as steel‚ are exposed to neutron radiation. Often isolated neutrons collide into atoms‚ and because they have no charge there is no repulsive force against them. These neutrons turn the atoms into isotopes; in this case typical iron-56 becomes iron-57‚ 58 and then 59. The heavy iron-59 atom

Mercury is a metallic element that is naturally found in rocks within the earth’s crust. It is dispersed into the environment in various ways such as soil‚ weathering of rocks‚ volcanoes‚ mining coal combustion‚ power plants‚ municipal waste and even the products used in the household or for health. Since mercury naturally occurs in the environment‚ it can exist in several forms and there are three main forms it takes on; there is Elemental mercury‚ organic mercury and inorganic mercury and each

Question 1 The first statement is correct as lead is a highly intoxicated substance that can cause damage‚ especially in young children. There are many symptoms to lead poisoning which include: irritability‚ loss of appetite and nausea‚ headaches‚ unexplained abdominal pain‚ muscle aches‚ constipation‚ learning problems‚ short attention span‚ easily distracted‚ mental retardation and behaviour problems including aggression and impulsivity. As seen in the statement “this is disturbing because it

Exposure to lead has been proven to be a large public health concern. For the purposes of this paper‚ I am going to introduce what lead is‚ how people are exposed to lead‚ and the physiologic effects of lead exposure‚ focusing on acute lead toxicity‚ but more specifically‚ on chronic low level lead toxicity. The supplementation of 3 studies shows the relationship between lead exposure and one of these physiologic effects in children‚ specifically intelligence as measured by IQ scores. Lead is

However‚ at higher concentrations they can lead to poisoning for human‚ animal‚ plant and microorganisms. Over the last decades‚ environmental contamination with heavy metals has increased drastically (Yasar Kiran‚ Ahmet Sahin 2005) Heavy metals have recently received the attention of researchers all over

Medical Center will provide me with the comprehensive training necessary to fulfill my aspirations. I am particularly fascinated in the field of radiation oncology. Watching as the physicians at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) cared for and interacted with their patients and‚ subsequently‚ investigated novel methods to optimize radiation therapy solidified my interest in this specialty.

Water fluoridation was introduced into the United Sates in the 1950s. It is still a topic discussed and debated today‚ specifically what the actual benefits are‚ and whether or not it is safe and effective. Fluoride should not be added to public water because of the risk of over exposure‚ medical issues that are cause by that over exposure‚ and the lack of benefits it is shown to have. Fluoride should not be added to water because of the high risk of over exposure. Water fluoridation is the process
