Because most herbicides could not kill all weeds, farmers rotated crops and herbicides to stop resistant weeds.

This can be due to either improperly sterilized equipment or contamination of the dyes being used.

So suddenly, it will become kind of radioactive from Chernobyl and the 2,000 or so nuclear bombs that have been set off since 1945.

Additionally, development and spread of drug resistant bacteria (e.g., penicillin resistant gonococci) makes some STDs harder to cure.

Radioactive decay Every element has one or more isotopes that have unstable nuclei that are subject to radioactive decay, causing the nucleus to emit particles or electromagnetic radiation.

Other more rare types of radioactive decay include ejection of neutrons or protons or clusters of nucleons from a nucleus, or more than one beta particle.

The importance of radioactive detections methods is declining due to its hazardous radiation , because it is very expensive, health and safety risks are high, and ECL (enhanced chemiluminescence) provides a useful alternative.
