What Does PO Stand For?
PO stands for Polonium
Polonium (Po) is a rare, naturally occurring radioactive element classified as a metalloid in the periodic table. With an atomic number of 84, it was discovered in 1940 by Marie Curie and her husband Pierre Curie. Polonium is primarily used in specialized applications, such as in anti-static devices, as a heat source in space equipment, and in certain types of research due to its intense radioactivity. It poses significant health risks if ingested or inhaled and is handled under strict safety regulations.
