to sites near tumors to treat other cancers.
These particles are emitted by radioactive static neutralizers as one of the final steps when producing paper. Already used to treat bone cancers, research is being done to attach bismuth and actinium [ak-TIH-nee-um] to sites near tumors to treat other cancers. These particles can cause lung cancer, most commonly doing so after the inhalation of radium. These were aimed at gold foil when the atomic nucleus was discovered by Ernest Rutherford. Name these particles equivalent to a helium nucleus.
