Polonium-210 in cigarette tobacco
Tobacco and tobacco smoke contain minute amounts of some natural radionuclides such as 210Pb and 210Po, which are carcinogens. Intake of these radionuclides results in an increase of radiation doses to lung cells and tissues. Samples of the most frequently smoked cigarette brands were collected from the local market of Riyadh City, Saudi Arabia. Activity concentrations of 210Po were measured by ...
