text: Since tritium is a low energy beta emitter, it is not dangerous externally (its beta particles are unable to penetrate the skin), but it can be a radiation hazard when inhaled, ingested via food or water, or absorbed through the skin.
text: Tritium (Hydrogen-3) is a very low beta energy emitter that can be used to label proteins, nucleic acids, drugs and almost any organic biomolecule.
text: Tritium is a low-energy beta emitter commonly used as a radiotracer in research and in traser self-powered lightings.
text: Since tritium is a low energy beta emitter, it is not dangerous externally (its beta particles are unable to penetrate human skin) but it can be a radiation hazard in large doses when inhaled, or ingested from food or water.
text: I have detected what I think to be a contradiction: "Since tritium is a low energy beta emitter, it is not dangerous externally (its beta particles are unable to penetrate the skin), but it is a radiation hazard when inhaled, ingested via food or water, or absorbed through the skin.
text: Tritium is a low energy beta emitter with low penetrating power that causes radiation stress primarily due to internal irradiation if the radionuclide is incorporated.
