Isotopes in hydrology and water resources management
Isotope Hydrology is a field of hydrology that uses isotopic dating to estimate the age and origin of water.
Carbon 14 dating is also used in isotope hydrology since all natural water contains dissolved carbon dioxide.

Application of isotope in hydrology
Determining the age of snow and ice:
Use of stable isotope can indicate the conditions of the climate in the past:
Higher average global temperature indicates the increase in atmospheric (18)O water.
While lower than normal (18)O in groundwater or an ice layer would imply the cooler climatic or ice ages.

Application of sealed radioisotopes/radiation in industry
THICKNESS MEASUREMENT AND CONTROL:
The 0.54 MeV beta of Sr (90) is used for measuring thickness- back scattering technique.
FRICTION AND WEAROUT:When the 2 surfaces are rubbed, one is neutron activated
so that it becomes radioactive, without a lubricant the other surface is auto-radio graphed. This indicate the amount of matter transferred (wear out of piston rings).

Gamma Radiography
Technique of examining industrial castings and machine parts for micro cracks is well known.
Diesel locomotive works, Varanasi are using 8Ci of (192)Ir for testing by gammography steel plates in manufacture of locomotives.
The metal casting are tested for cracks by putting in radioactive salt baths. Absence of salt-penetration obviously indicates absence of cracks.

Radiotracers application in industryOptimum use of fertilizers-Agricultural industry
Ca (45)as a tracer, it has been found that the uptake by plants of Ca from the soil is nearly same for CaO and CaCO3.
Adding (NH4)3PO4 labeled with p(32) of known specific activity the uptake of phosphorous is measured.
![Page 11: Application of radioisotopes](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012407/58eeaefa1a28abfc1c8b46c5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Surgery-medical industry:
To find out if blood is circulating to a wound or not a radioisotope is injected, afterwards blood from the wound is examined by GM counter.
Similarly phosphate containing isotope of phosphorus (32) is given to patients suffering from bone fracture.

Radiopharmaceuticals as diagonstic and therapeutic agents in medical care Thyroiditis (Goiter):
Diagnosed the treatment is possible by radioiodine (131)I or better (125)I.
Energetic radiation destroy the, hyperthyroidisms, followed by auto-radio graphic of the gland in Scintillation counter.

Brain tumor location
Certain dyes as fluorescein, Rose Bengal are preferentially adsorbed by cancerous cells. The technique is to label the dye with (131)I as diiodofluroscein or Rose Bengal.
Accessing the volume of blood The technique isotope dilution is used for this(Na-24 as
NaCl solution).
5-6 liters of blood is present in human beings.

Use of (18)F in the study of neurotransmitter dopamine pathway in the brain
Absence of dopamine leads to the Parkinson's disease. 6-Fluorodopa labeled with (18)F has successfully used to trace the pathway of dopamine in brain by Positron Emission Tomography (PET).

Radio Immuno Assay (RIA)
RIA technique was developed by Yalow and Berson.
Technique for assessing the concentration levels of biological ingredients in the body fluids.
RIA technique is used in the estimation of the Human Placental Lactogen (HPL) in the pregnancy, it gives the information regarding the risk of pregnancy.

Radiation processing application Radiation Sterilization:
Convient way to sterilize surgical instruments, gloves and ampoules by the exposure to a high gamma dose of few megarads.
Radiation energy for chemical synthesis:1. Ethyl Bromide:
C2H4 +HBr C2H5Br
Passing ethylene and HBr into the Co(60) source.

Gammexane: Stereoisomer's of BHC by the chlorination of benzene.
C6H6 +3Cl2 C6H6Cl6. It is used with other isomers as a powerful insecticide.
Cyclohexane sulphonyl chloride: Mixture of cyclohexane, Cl2 and SO2 are exposed to
gamma radiation.C6H6 +SO2 + Cl2 C6H6SO2Cl + HCl
Spent fuel rods are used as a source of gamma radiation.

Genetic engineering for crop improvementFrequency of mutation can be enhanced by exposing the plants to high dose of gamma radiation. Usually 10-100KCi of (60) Co sources are used.
Other gamma – induced reaction: Preparation of silicon lubricants, ergo sterol from yeast,
ethylene glycol from methanol.

Radiation therapy in cancer treatment
Radiation therapy is commonly applied to the cancerous tumor.
Systemic radioisotope therapy is a form of TARGETED THERAPY.
Radiation Oncology (study of tumors) is medical specality concerned with radiation.

Radioactive Lab rules:
Lab coat should be used in active sites radioactivity.
Rubber gloves should be worn when doing chemical action with radioisotopes.
Mouth operation are strictly forbidden.
It is preferable to carry out radioactive experiments in shallow trays.
