Daughter products are made with the ethnic consumer in mind.
Within five months, degradation
daughter products were detected, confirming on-going biodegradation.
We can calculate the rock's age by measuring the relative amounts of remaining radioactive parent and its
daughter products. And we can determine the "parent" rocks from which the specimen originally descended (or more accurately in this case, "ascended").
This phenomenon was later utilized by many scientists, including Otto Hahn and Lise Meitner, to separate
daughter products in radioactive decay sequences, and hence identify new isotopes.
"But given time and control over the process," he adds, "these
daughter products do break down into environmentally benign substances, a process which can be monitored using a gas chromatograph." And, says Blake, "All oxidization processes have the potential to produce partial oxidization products.
