lodine-131: It is used in nuclear medicine both diagnostically and therapeutically. Especially for goiters.
cobalt-60:As a tracer for cobalt in chemical reactions,
Sterilization of medical equipment, Radiation source for medical radiotherapy, Radiation source for industrial radiography, Radioactive source for leveling devices and thickness gauges, As a radioactive source for food irradiation, and As a radioactive source for laboratory use.
Potassium: Potassium is an essential component needed in plant growth and is found in most soil types. In animals, potassium maintains cell potentials (essentially keeps them from bursting and shriveling).
Chloride: Chloride is also a useful and reliable chemical indicator of river / groundwater faecal contamination. Increases blood's carbon dioxide capacity.
