Environmental isotopes

Environmental isotopes

The environmental isotopes are a subset of the isotopes, both stable and radioactive, which are the object of Isotope geochemistry.

The most used environmental isotopes are:

* deuterium
* tritium
* carbon-13
* carbon-14
* nitrogen-15
* oxygen-18
* silicon-29
* chlorine-36
