Abstract
The Group 16 of the Periodic Table is composed of only two stable trace elements: selenium (Se) and tellurium (Te) which resemble S in a number of geochemical properties, however their behavior in the environment is more complex. Polonium (Po), a natural isotope of the U-Ra transformation chain also belongs to this group.
