Do all objects radiate energy?
yes. as long at the obj is above absolute 0, it has energy and hence will emit heat. whether there is a net heat gain or loss depends on the environment it is in. yes. as long at the obj is above absolute 0, it has energy and hence will emit heat. whether there is a net heat gain or loss depends on the environment it is in.
What can one do to protect oneself from background radiation?

Fear from background radiation come from confusion of the word radiation where we mostly concern nuclear radiation, but light is also a form of radiation and we live within the bright day light on a normal basis.

Are there greater ionizing or non-ionizing industrial hazards in the US?
The use of ionizing radiation in the American workplace has been substantially reduced during the last 30-40 years. As a result of that reduction, have the hazards of non-ionizing radiation used in the workplace become greater than the remaining hazards of ionizing radiation still in use? There are no readily accessible studies to tell us whether or not that has happened, and mostly it does not matter. The important thing is to deal correctly with all the radiation hazards, ionizing and non-ionizing, that are present in each particular workplace.

I will just give a few examples of these hazards 1. chemical hazards: solids such as heavy metals i.e lead and asbestos, liquids such as acids and gases such benzene and sulphur (IV) oxide 2. Mechanical hazards such as unguarded machines 3. Biological hazards such as bacteria, insects and viruses 4. Physical hazards such as radiation, magnetic fields, pressure 5. Ergonomic hazards such as the improper setup of a workstation 6. Psychological hazards such as stress and violence 7. Safety hazards such as slipping, improper machine guarding and equipment malfunctions 8. Technological hazards such as industrial pollution, nuclear radiation, toxic wastes and dam failures 9. Environmental hazards 10. Electrical hazards 11. Fire hazards I have tried as much to give the knowledge I know so if any has additional information they can add to the above
