Isotopes in everyday life
Abstract
Isotopes represent a tool which can do certain jobs better, easier, quicker, more simply and cheaper than competitive methods. Some measurements could not be done at all without the use of isotopes as there are no alternative methods available. A short review of these tools of science in their different fields is given. Applications are discussed for food and agriculture, human health, industry, hydrology, geology, geochemistry, geophysics and dating, environment, and basic scientific research.
