Polonium-210 in the bio-sphere Bio-kinetics and biological effects
, 2012 Polonium-210 is an alpha particle emitting radioactive element with a half-life of 138 days. It appears at the end of the decay-chain of Uranium-238 where the long lived Lead-210 (22.3 a) decays to Bismuth-210, and finally Polonium-210.

Characteristics of Polonium Contamination from Neutron Irradiated Lead-Bismuth Eutectic
, 2020 After neutron capture, bismuth-209 changes to polonium-210 that emits α-particles. Lead-Bismuth eutectic (LBE) in reactor system contaminates the system by polonium. We analyzed adsorbed materials from melted LBE on quartz glass plate.
