Description
Naturally occurring Thorium exists primarily as 23'2Th with a half-life of 1.39 x 1010 years. Humans are constantly exposed to thorium mainly through ingestion due to their global presence. The incorporated thorium is retained in skeleton, liver and other tissues causing internal radiation dose. Radionuclides can find its entry in to human due to consumption of food, therefore determination of radionuclide in different food and diets is important to estimate the intake of these radionuclides by human
