What is Technetium and Uranium: Health Risks about?

Technetium-99m has a half-life of 210,000 years and eventually decays into technetium-99, which poses internal radiation risks if ingested or inhaled. While external radiation from technetium is generally not harmful, the long-term accumulation of its radioactive waste in the environment could have unexpected negative consequences. Internally, technetium-99 is efficiently metabolized by plants, animals, and humans, but its long-term buildup remains a concern.
