title: Multitracer techniques: applications in chemical and life sciences.
abstract: The scope and approaches of the "multitracer technique" have briefly been reviewed. The various aspects of the "multitracer technique" include, the methods of accelerator production of "multitracers" and their separation, the application of this technique in the study of adsorption of metal ions on solid surfaces and in the study of distribution of trace elements in plants and animals.
