Own Granite? Granite is radioactive and has Isotopes of Potassium-40 , U-235 and 238 and some other things as well. If your house is near some granite , make sure your house is not cracked because Rn-²²² can enter your house. Even though Radon is found in hot springs , high levels can result in lung cancer

House made before 1978?

Before 1978 , many houses painted had lead , some of the lead were radioactive.

Phones and other devices are radioactive



When measuring radioactivity with Geiger metres , it is usually mediated in microsiverts. Any more than 2 siverts can kill a human in natural exposure.

You know, recently I've been reading up on radiation and the general effects it has on people and the ecosystem. Its actually some fascinating stuff.

I've found this particular video intriguing in the way it explains how radiation actually works and why it can be harmful.
