This depends on many factors: your age, your general health, internal or external irradiation, quantity of plutonium ingested or inhaled, the chemical form of plutonium, the physical form of plutonium, the dose equivalent, etc.
But be sure that plutonium is very toxic and radioactive - it is an important danger without precautions.
Plutonium exposure can be fatal within weeks to months, depending on the amount and type of exposure. Ingesting or inhaling even a small amount of plutonium can lead to serious health effects, including radiation sickness, organ damage, and an increased risk of cancer. Prompt medical treatment is crucial in cases of plutonium exposure.
Plutonium is poisonous due to its radioactivity, emitting alpha particles that can damage cells and tissues when inhaled or ingested. Once inside the body, plutonium can accumulate in the bones and liver, increasing the risk of cancer and other health problems. Exposure to even small amounts of plutonium can be harmful and can lead to long-term health effects.
A plutonium rod can last for several decades before its decay rate significantly diminishes its effectiveness as a power source. The half-life of plutonium-239 is about 24,100 years, so it will continue to generate heat and power for a long time.
Plutonium is a radioactive element that can have harmful effects on the environment. It can contaminate soil and water, leading to long-lasting pollution and posing a risk to wildlife and human health. Accidental releases or improper disposal of plutonium can result in serious environmental damage.
The plutonium isotope with 144 neutrons is plutonium-244. It is a rare and long-lived isotope with a half-life of about 80 million years. It is produced in supernova explosions and has potential applications in nuclear weapons and spacecraft power sources.
Some plutonium compounds: Hydrides: Plutonium dihydride: PuH2, Plutonium trihydride: PuH3 Fluorides: Plutonium trifluoride: PuF3, Plutonium hexafluoride: PuF6, Plutonium tetrafluoride: PuF4 Chlorides: Plutonium trichloride: PuCl3 Bromides: Plutonium tribromide: PuBr3 Iodides: Plutonium triiodide: PuI3 Oxides: Plutonium oxide: PuO, Plutonium dioxide: PuO2, Diplutonium trioxide: Pu2O3 Sulfides: Plutonium sulphide: PuS, Plutonium disulphide: PuS2, Diplutonium trisulphide: Pu2S3 Selenide: Plutonium selenide: PuSe Nitrides: Plutonium nitride: PuN Carbides: PuC, Pu2C3 Borides: PuB2,Pu2B4, PuB6, PuB100 Nitrate : Plutonium (III) nitrate: Pu(NO3)3, Plutonium (IV) nitrate: Pu(NO3)4 And many others.
Yes, because plutonium is extremely radioactive and toxic.
The half life is different for each isotope of plutonium; name the isotope for a calculation.
On long term, the useful isotopes of plutonium are not renewable.
Plutonium is not used in batteries.

Exposure to even small amounts of plutonium can be harmful and can lead to long-term health effects.
Each isotope has another half life.
The decay of plutonium-240 follows exponential decay kinetics, where the amount remaining is given by the equation: N(t) = N0 * e^(-λt), where N(t) is the amount remaining at time t, N0 is the initial amount, λ is the decay constant, and e is the base of the natural logarithm. The decay constant for plutonium-240 is 0.0106 years^-1. By rearranging the equation to solve for time (t) when N(t) = 9 grams and N0 = 27 grams, you can calculate the time it will take for 27 grams of plutonium-240 to decay to 9 grams. The calculated time will be approximately 20.5 years.
It really depends on how long it will take to kill each one.
this is a wide topic but i recomend a wide dose of napalm followed to exposure to plutonium......make sure to apply plutonium with glooves as it stains cotton
The decay of plutonium-240 has a half-life of about 656 million years. To go from 36 grams to 12 grams would require two half-lives, so it would take approximately 1.3 billion years for 36 grams of plutonium-240 to decay to 12 grams.
If you wanted to, I guess.
Not plutonium, but iodine-131 !!The half life of 131I is 8,0197 days.
