I assume you mean ionizing electromagnetic radiation.
Cathode ray tube televisions (i.e. the non-flatscreen televisions) and some other electric devices produce some radiation.
While it might sound pretty excessive all these sources add up to a very small amount of radiation. About 2.4 mSv.
Most additional radiation people receive are from medical imaging methods such as a CT-scan (20 mSv)
What else can I help you with?
Are all the elements naturally occurring manmade or both?
Not all the elements occur naturally; some elements are man-made.
Is zircon manmade?
Zircon itself is a naturally occurring mineral, so it is not manmade. However, some zircon gemstones undergo treatments, such as heat treatment, to enhance their color or clarity, but the base mineral itself is natural.
Can a natural isotope be radioactive?
Yes, a natural isotope can be radioactive. Some natural isotopes have unstable nuclei and undergo radioactive decay to achieve a more stable form. This process involves the emission of radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays.
Why do we say that some elements aren't naturally occurring?
Some elements are not naturally occurring because they are created in laboratories through nuclear reactions or particle accelerators. These synthetic elements do not have stable isotopes and decay rapidly, making them difficult to find in nature. Examples include elements beyond uranium on the periodic table.
Which elements found in nature have mainly radioactive isotopes?
Some elements found in nature that mainly have radioactive isotopes include uranium, thorium, and potassium. These elements have naturally occurring radioactive isotopes that decay over time, releasing energy in the form of radiation.
Why does light have to be invented?
Light doesn't have to be invented. Emitting radiation in the form of light is a naturally occurring phenomena under some conditions.
Are all the elements naturally occurring manmade or both?
Not all the elements occur naturally; some elements are man-made.
What are some naturally occurring hazards in Mexico?
Cenotes
What are some examples of blue foods that are naturally occurring in nature?
Some examples of naturally occurring blue foods include blueberries, blue corn, and purple potatoes.
CFC's are A Naturally Occurring B Man-Made C Produced by Bacteria D None of the Above?
CFC's are naturally occurring. Some people disagree and say they are completely man made.
What are some sources of naturally occurring sugars in a balanced diet?
Some sources of naturally occurring sugars in a balanced diet include fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and some grains. These foods provide essential nutrients along with sugars that can be part of a healthy eating plan.
What is background radiation List some of its sources?
Background radiation is the nuclear radiation that arises naturally from cosmic rays and form radioactive isotopes in the soil and air. Some of its sources are : the sun, heat, soil, rocks, and plants.
Do lions live in Germany?
Lions are not naturally occurring in Germany, but some live in zoos and parks.
Most of the naturally occurring elements are?
Most of the naturally occurring elements are metals. These elements are found in the Earth's crust and have various physical and chemical properties. Some examples of naturally occurring metals include iron, copper, and gold.
Why is there naturally occurring technetium on earth?
Natural technetium exist only in infinitesimal traces in some uranium deposits.
What are some natural phenomons?
Natural disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and thunderstorms, or naturally occurring phenomenae such as the Northern Lights.
Is zircon manmade?
Zircon itself is a naturally occurring mineral, so it is not manmade. However, some zircon gemstones undergo treatments, such as heat treatment, to enhance their color or clarity, but the base mineral itself is natural.
