A review of radio chemical analysis and estimation of 210Po in soil matrices by N.K. Sethy, A.K. Sutar, P. Rath, V.N. Jha, P.M. Ravi, R.M. Tripathi

“…There has been little development regarding analysis of polonium in environmental samples since 1960 as radiochemical analysis of polonium is quite straight forward due to easy of source preparation through auto-deposition on to metal surfaces. …”

Radon and Neoplasms by Marek Andrzej Komorowski

“…Radon-220 represents a small fraction of the total radon concentration in the air, but the dose of radon-220 progeny may have a significant effect in the prenatal period, as the precursors of polonium-212 exhibit substantially longer half-lives than the corresponding precursors of polonium-214. …”

Modeling of transient processes in gas-turbine compressors and turbines for engine fault by Sheng, Xiao Hong.

“…The compressor and the turbine are modeled by three sections, that is, the rotor, the stator with lumped parameters, and the polonium with non-uniform parameters. The loss can be predicted either by experimental correlations and the geometry or by isentropic efficiency in the current model.…”
