Cesium 137 gets widely dispersed and takes a long time to break down - it is man made - and yet everyone on this earth all ready has some cesium 137 in their system and tissues - from air borne testing in the 50's
I knew some folks who worked for the govt doing the above - they died an early nasty death due to cesium contamination / cancers.
its nasty stuff - not present in human tissues before we started tinkering and releasing this stuff into the environment
