Tritium Disposal of Self-Luminous Exit Signs

Tritium Disposal is relatively safe

Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen that is used in tritium exit signs. It is also used in hand watches. Tritium disposal is a serious issue because of the fact that even a little skin contact with tritium may prove to be lethal. If tritium disposal isn’t taken care of properly, the tritium may spread in surrounding environment as gas and if someone inhales it, tritium may prove to be real hazardous. However, if you come in contact with tritium due to a loose tritium disposal, you need to act smart. Clean the part where your skin contacted with tritium with water or take a proper bath and drink as much water as you can. While people fear of using tritium exit signs and lights because they fear of hazards due to careless tritium disposal. However, tritium is least dangerous radionuclide. If a normal quantity of tritium is lost in environment due to a mismanaged tritium disposal, it will not cause any serious damage.
