Radionuclide
A Radionuclide is an unstable form of a Chemical Element that radioactively decays, resulting in the emission of nuclear radiation. Prolonged exposure to Radionuclides increases the risk of cancer. All of the Radionuclides known to occur in drinking water are currently regulated, except for radon and naturally-occurring uranium, both of which were proposed for regulation in October 1999.
