MAN-MADE SOURCES OF RADIATION
Outside of nature, there are areas where radiation and radioactive material might come into contact with the average person. We examine the more common of these sources, and how much they contribute to the average person’s annual exposure.

RADIATION VS. CONTAMINATION
Putting to rest the myth that being exposed to radiation, such as medical X-Rays, somehow makes you radioactive yourself. We discuss the difference between radiation and radioactivity, and what makes something “contaminated.”
