Radioactive Pollution in Drinking Water
Acta Scientific Microbiology, 2021 A radionuclide or radioisotope is an atom that has the same atomic number but different atomic mass i.e. same number of electrons and protons and a different number of neutrons e.g. 12C6 , 13C6 , 14C6 . They are carrying excess nuclear energy by which they are unstable in the environment.

Prevalence of short-lived radioactive isotopes across exoplanetary systems inferred from polluted white dwarfs [PDF]
, 2022 In the Solar System short-lived radioisotopes, such as 26Al, played a crucial role during the formation planetary bodies by providing a significant additional source of heat. Notably, this led to early and large-scale melting and iron core formation in planetesimals and their loss of volatile elements, such as hydrogen and carbon.

Study of pollution in the El Jadida-Safi Atlantic coastal zone (Morocco) by using PIXE and SSNTD methods [PDF]
Journal of Environmental Radioactivity 99 (2008) 1216-1223, 2008 In this work PIXE experiments were performed for measuring heavy and light elements (ranging from aluminium to lead) concentrations inside various polluted and unpolluted soils as well as liquid samples collected from different phosphate factory sewers in the El Jadida-Safi Atlantic coastal region (Morocco).
