An overview of radioisotopes study in water pollution

Radioisotopes can be defined as the radioactive isotopes of an element. They refer to the atoms that contain an unstable combination of neutrons and protons. The combination can occur naturally or by altering the atoms. Nowadays, radioactive materials have become major contributing pollutants for a...

Nowadays, radioactive materials have become major contributing pollutants for a lot of cases of disability and mortality in all over the world.
