After a nuclear explosion in the environment remains a lot of half-life of a radioactive isotope . Which of them pose the greatest danger to people , find themselves in the same place after a certain time ? why?

Exposure to nuclear explosion released isotopes can have various health effects depending on the dose and type of isotopes. Some potential health effects include radiation sickness, cancer, birth defects, and genetic mutations.
Nuclear explosion released isotopes are monitored and measured through a variety of methods including air sampling, water sampling, and direct measurements of radiation levels. These measurements are used to determine the level of contamination and potential health risks.
The half-life of nuclear explosion released isotopes varies depending on the type of isotope. Some isotopes have a half-life of a few seconds, while others have a half-life of thousands of years. This half-life determines how long the isotope will remain radioactive and potentially harmful.
Some nuclear explosion released isotopes can be removed from the environment through processes such as decontamination and radioactive decay. However, some isotopes have a long half-life and may remain in the environment for an extended period of time.
There are various safety measures in place to protect against nuclear explosion released isotopes. These include evacuation and sheltering procedures, protective clothing and equipment for workers, and regulations for the handling and disposal of radioactive materials.
