One beneficial use of radioisotopes is:

1. Detection of disease
2. Neutralization of an acid spill
3. Decreasing the dissolved \(O_2(g)\) level in seawater
4. Increasing the concentration of \(CO_2(g)\) in the atmosphere

Answer (3)

(1) detection of disease
There are numbers of things that the ****radioisotopes do but for this one is Detection. Its almost like a scope like or tool to see what's the problem deep inside. Ex. different types of gases on your skin.

A radioisotope is beneficial for detection of disease. Some major uses of this are:
=> Smoke detectore
=> checking of stock
=> aid for biomedical research for cellular structure and bone formation in mammals
=> use to treat cancerous tumors
=> used in research of red blood cells
=> use as a tracer to diagnose anemia
=> use to detect presence of sulfur in the air
=> used in dental fixtures
=> used for science and drug metabolism studies.

The beneficial use of radioisotopes is primarily in the detection of diseases. These isotopes, often in the form of radiopharmaceuticals, allow for precise imaging and diagnosis of conditions within the body. Techniques like PET and SPECT utilize radioisotopes to provide valuable information about organ function and disease presence.
