Phosphorus-32 is a β-emitter with a maximum energy of 1.7 MeV (such radiation is completely absorbed in a layer of water or biological tissue up to 1 cm thick) and a half-life of 14.29 days can find application in medicine to study the circulation of substances. This isotope is best obtained from su...
