Answer:

The given blanks can be filled with harmless and a sheet of paper.

Explanation:

Chromium-51 is a chromium’s radioactive isotope. It has an application in medical diagnosis, as it is used to mark RBCs for the determination of red cell volume or mass, sequestration studies, survival time, and for the determination of gastrointestinal bleeding, and is utilized to mark platelets to examine their survival.  

The chromium-51 gives off relatively harmless alpha particles, which can be even prevented by a sheet of paper. The alpha particles do not exhibit a high concentration of energy and are not very ionizing, as they possess a high mass. This makes them comparatively safer to function with.

In order to reduce the exposure to organic solvents like turpentine, some art instructors recommend the students clean brushes a
kykrilka [37]
Generally speaking, organic molecules tend to dissolve in solvents that have similar physical properties. A good rule of thumb is that "like dissolves like". Meaning, polar compounds can dissolve polar compounds and nonpolar compounds can dissolve nonpolar compounds.

To apply this to the current problem, we are told that the brushes are being cleaned with vegetable oil or mineral oil. In this case, the oils are used as solvents. In order for these solvents to be effective, the compounds they are trying to dissolve must be similar in structure and properties to other oils. Therefore, vegetable oil or mineral oil will be most effective in removing oil-based paints, as these will have the similar properties needed to dissolve in the oil solvents.
