Decomposition
Some objects take a very long time to decay in nature. Some take
less time. Cans, for example, take from 50
to 100 years to disaggregate, glass takes up to 500 years and toilet paper takes only 2 weeks to 1 month.
Radioactive waste takes also a lot of time to disappear. For
example, carbon-14 takes 5730 years
to vanish and uranium takes 4.3 billion
years. Luckily, I 131 (iodine) is gone within 8 days.
So, when you are about to throw something away, think again!
