    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritium

    Tritium (from Ancient Greek τρίτος (trítos) 'third') or hydrogen-3 (symbol T or 3 H) is a rare and radioactive isotope of hydrogen with a half-life of ~12.3 years.

  3. Tritiated water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritiated_water

    HTO has a short biological half-life in the human body of 7 to 14 days, which both reduces the total effects of single-incident ingestion and precludes long-term bioaccumulation of HTO from the environment. The biological half life of tritiated water in the human body, which is a measure of body water turn-over, varies with the season.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritium_radioluminescence

    Tritium excretion can be accelerated further by increasing water intake to 3–4 liters/day. [11] Direct, short-term exposure to small amounts of tritium is mostly harmless. If a tritium tube breaks, one should leave the area and allow the gas to diffuse into the air. Tritium exists naturally in the environment, but in very small quantities.

  5. Heavy water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_water

    The human body naturally contains deuterium equivalent to about five grams of heavy water, which is harmless. When a large fraction of water (> 50%) in higher organisms is replaced by heavy water, the result is cell dysfunction and death. [6] Heavy water was first produced in 1932, a few months after the discovery of deuterium. [7]
