Within the activities of our Center ... for the 16th Cultural Season (16) Sahar Ahmed Amin lecture entitled ((Environmental applications of radioisotopes)) on Monday, 30/4/2018 on the blue hall and discussed the subject and benefit from it, summarized the lecture as follows:

Environmental Uses of Radioisotopes

The radioisotopes along with other stable isotopes have a lot of advantages and applications regarding to environment, such as Water Resource Management, Monitoring of Soil Erosion and Sedimentation, Identification of Major Sources of Air Pollution, Determination of source of Nitrates, Carbon Dating and Uranium Dating. Radioisotopes and other isotopic tracers are used to determine the age of underground water and origin of water. Tracers used for this purpose are ³H, ¹⁸O. Gold-198, Zinc-65 and Mn-54 are used to trace Factory waste causing ocean pollution and Sand movement in river beds and on ocean floors. Artificial radioisotope Cesium-137 
is used to estimate rate of soil erosion and sedimentation.
