(UWC, 2001)
Infectious diseases, for example, measles, scarlet fever, malaria, tuberculosis, and cholera have claimed many lives. These infections are caused by pathogenic viruses, bacteria, or fungi that invade the body's tissues and ...
Measurements and applications of radon in South African aquifer and river waters
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
In the natural decay series of 238Uan inert radioactive gas, 222Rn(radon) is formed in the decay of 226Ra.Because radon is relatively soluble in water, it migrates from places of its generation in rocks and soils to other ...
