Abstract
The article discusses the impact of a daily dose of polonium on a human body and how 210 PB and 210 can be found and where they are found in nature. It investigates its potential role in the human body and in some diseases and shows the possibility of detecting the lead-210 isotope with a high sensitivity by gamma spectroscopy. It notes that the natural 210Pb/210Po isotopes are non-homogeneously distributed in the human body.
