You should know!

Everything we encounter in our daily lives contains radioactive material, some naturally occurring and some man-made: the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, the ground we walk upon, and the consumer products we purchase and use.

Radiation exposure can increase the chances of developing cancer, tumors and genetic damage.

Check Radiation

Home

Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas, can become trapped inside walls and basements, elevating long-term cancer risks.
Kitty litter

Kitty litter is one of the most common sources of radiation in your home. One of its major components is bentonite clay, containing traces of naturally-occurring uranium and thorium.

Thanks to the way in which we just dump thousands of tons of cat litter in landfills each year, there’s a danger that this radiation might spread to our groundwater.
Medical procedures

Medical procedures make up 96 percent of the average person's exposure to man-made radiation, people should limit the number and types of x-rays they receive.

A chest X-ray typically delivers a dose of about 0,1 mSV, while a full-body CT scan packs a 10 mSV punch. By comparison, a CT scan of the chest delivers 7 mSv, while a scan of the head gives 2 mSv. A dental x-ray gives 0,015 mSv, and an x-ray of a hand or foot delivers 0.005 mSv.
Antiques

Grandmother's old collection of dishes could contain large amounts of potassium-40, uranium, and other nasties. Older watches and clocks used radium-226 as a source of light.

Many items of pottery produced before 1960 — mainly with an orange, red colour or a greenish-color — contain high levels of uranium. It’s not recommend to drink from those items, especially given that much old porcelain also leaks lead.
Fertilizer

Commercial fertilizers are designed to provide various levels of potassium, phosphorous, and nitrogen.

Such fertilizers can be radioactive for two reasons: potassium is naturally radioactive, and the phosphorous can be derived from phosphate ore that contains elevated levels of uranium.
Food

All plants and animals contain trace amounts of radioactive potassium-40 and radium-226. However, these amounts are very small.

But some fruits, berries, and mushrooms contain elevated levels of radioactive materials, for example brazil nut - the world's most radioactive food due to high radium concentrations 1000-times that of average foods.
Travelling

Radiation level during a flight depends on the plane's altitude and latitude, and on solar activity. You receive 0,01 mSv per 1000 miles.

One flight from New York to London gives travelers about the same level of radiation as a chest X-ray.
Building materials

If you have a granite worktop in your kitchen, then there’s a good chance that nearly every piece of food that’s been prepared on it has been subjected to radiation.

Ceramic materials (for example, tiles, pottery), stone, brick and adobe often contain elevated levels of naturally occurring uranium, thorium, and/or radon.
