The following information is about Isotopes.
Isotopes Defined
Atoms of the same element that have equal numbers of protons, but different numbers of neutrons. Isotopes of an element have the same atomic number but different atomic mass. For example, uranium-238 and uranium-235.
This definition is in context to Environmental Toxins. See more contextual defintions for Isotopes.
Tracing Metal Pollution Back To Its Sources
Published November 21, 2008, 7:08 am, Medical News Today
A new way of pinpointing where zinc pollution in the atmosphere comes from could improve pollution monitoring and regulation, says research out this week in the journal Analytical Chemistry. Imperial College London researchers say their work is a major breakthrough as current methods for analysing zinc pollution only measure pollution in the atmosphere; they do not trace it back to its source.

Nearly All Fast Food In The US Uses Corn
Published November 17, 2008, 3:11 am, Medical News Today
Using a carbon isotope to identify the type of feed eaten by the animals whose meat goes into hamburgers, and the oil used to cook fries, researchers were able to establish that nearly all fast food consumed in the US relies on corn agriculture.
What's really in your favourite fast food combo?

You may want to reconsider getting that double cheeseburger with fries. A study released earlier this month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences contains controversial claims about menu items served at McDonald's, Wendy's and Burger King.

- That Burger You're Eating Is Mostly Corn: Scientific American: "Jahren and her colleague Rebecca Kraft collected hamburgers, chicken sandwiches and fries from three separate Burger King, McDonald' s and Wendy's locations in six U.S. cities: Baltimore, Boston, Detroit, Denver, Los Angeles and San Francisco. The scientists were looking for the amount of carbon 13 (13C), a variety of carbon with an extra neutron (known as an isotope) that makes its atom heavier. Corn tends to have more of this 13C than other plants. That telltale signature persists as the corn travels through the complex system that turns it into feed, which is consumed and processed by cattle to grow tissue. It continues after the animals are slaughtered and the meat is cooked. The result: 93 percent of the tissue that comprised the hamburger meat was derived from corn."
