The unstable iodine isotope 53 I (half-life: 8.03 days) is often given to cats with 131 hyperthyroidism. The cats then eliminate the radioactive material into their litterboxes (one hopes). If the initial activity of the litterbox is 10 times the safe level for human handling, how long must you wait before it's safe to throw the litter into the trash?
