- Strontium is a
chemical element with the symbol Sr and the atomic number 38.
- An alkaline earth
metal, strontium is a soft silver-white or yellowish metallic element
that is highly reactive chemically. The metal turns yellow when exposed
to air.
- Strontium occurs
naturally in the minerals celestine and strontianite. The 90Sr isotope
is present in radioactive fallout and has a half-life of 28.90
years.
- 89Sr is the active
ingredient in Metastron, a radiopharmaceutical used for bone pain
secondary to metastatic prostate cancer.
- The strontium acts
like calcium and is preferentially incorporated into bone at sites of
increased osteogenesis. This localization focuses the radiation exposure
on the cancerous lesion.
- 90Sr has been used
as a power source for radioisotope thermoelectric generators .
90Sr
is also used in cancer therapy. Its beta emission and long half-life is
ideal for superficial radiotherapy.
- Strontium is one of
the constituents of AJ62 alloy, a durable magnesium alloy used in car
and motorcycle engines by BMW.
- Principal uses of
strontium compounds are in pyrotechnics, for the brilliant reds in
fireworks and warning flares and in greases. A little is used as a
getter in vacuum tubes to remove the last traces of air.
- Most strontium is
used as the carbonate in special glass for television screens and visual
display units.
- Strontium can be
taken into the body by eating food, drinking water, or breathing air.
Gastrointestinal absorption from food or water is the principal source
of internally deposited strontium in the general population.
- On average, 30 to
40% of ingested strontium is absorbed into the bloodstream. The amount
absorbed tends to decrease with age, and is higher (about 60%) in
children in their first year of life.
- Strontium behaves
similarly to calcium , but living organisms generally use and retain it
less effectively.
