Footnotes
[1]The biosphere is the living world, the sum of all living, interacting
organisms.
[2]Symbiosis is a condition in which two organisms or communities of
organisms live together in close association, either on a basis of
mutual benefit or of benefit to one only, with or without harm to
the other.
[3]Ionizing radiation is radiation that can cause damage to biological
tissues.
[4]Isotopes are variant forms of atoms of the same element.
[5]Nuclides is a term used to describe all the forms of all the atoms.
Radionuclides are radioactive nuclides.
