Infection control is the discipline concerned with preventing nosocomial or healthcare-associated infection, a practical (rather than academic) sub-discipline of epidemiology. It is an essential, though often underrecognized and undersupported, part of the infrastructure of health care. Infection control and hospital epidemiology are akin to public health practice, practiced within the confines of a particular health-care delivery system rather than directed at society as a whole. Anti-infective agents include antibiotics, antibacterials, antifungals, antivirals and antiprotozoals.[1]

Infection control addresses factors related to the spread of infections within the healthcare setting (whether patient-to-patient, from patients to staff and from staff to patients, or among-staff), including prevention (via hand hygiene/hand washing, cleaning/disinfection/sterilization, vaccination, surveillance), monitoring/investigation of demonstrated or suspected spread of infection within a particular health-care setting (surveillance and outbreak investigation), and management (interruption of outbreaks). It is on this basis that the common title being adopted within health care is "infection prevention and control." (got from google

Stronitum-90 has a half-life of 29 years. if a site held 2000 kg of this isotope, approximately what mass of strontium-90 would
4vir4ik [10]
A half life of 29 years means that after 29 years, only half of this isotope would be left due to radioactive decay. If we start of with 2000g of it and leave it for 116 years, it would undergo 4 "half=lives". 116/29 = 4. So after the first half life, we would have 2000g/2 = 1000g left. After the second, we would have 500g left, after the third, 250g so after 4 half lives or 116 years, there would be 125 g  of Strontium-90 left at the site.
