Question #3. What are radioactive emissions and how are most humans exposed to them?

Example:

Radioactive emissions are any of various forms of radiation or particles that may be given off by unstable isotopes.
Many such emissions have very high energy and can destroy biological tissues or cause mutations leading to cancer
or birth defects.
The humans may be exposed to the radioactive emissions through a variety of sources such as the dangerous gases
present in the atmosphere and the radioactive elements already present in the muscles, tissue and bones. The humans
may also be exposed to the contaminated emissions from the outer space, known as the cosmic rays. Other sources
may include medical imagery like X-rays, the radiation utilized for the diagnosis of a disease, and the treatment of
cancer. Furthermore, nuclear weapons and explosions are the primary cause of radioactive Humans working at
nuclear power plants are under an increased risk of exposure to such emissions, (Eisenbud and Gesell).
Exposure to radioactive emissions is not harmful if exposed to a small degree and for a short period.
However, prolonged and a high degree of radioactive exposure poses severe health risks for humans.
In a typical year, the average person is ex-posed to an effective dose of approximately350 mrem of radiation. By far
the largest portion of this dosage comes from1.radiation from C-14 in organic materials. 2.radiation from building
materials. 3.naturally occurring isotopes of Ca and Sr that are in bones. 4.medical procedures. 5.cosmic rays.
