For example, many smoke detectors have minute amounts of americium-241. This is not really a health problem, due to the tiny amounts.Just about any home has radon-222, which in turn is emitted by radioactive decay of uranium and thorium. Some homes have more of it than others - depending on the building materials - and this IS a health concern. Radon is the second cause of lung cancer.
What else can I help you with?
What is the most radioactive thing?
Thorium, an element rarely found in some minerals.
What Element stays radioactive for millions of years?
The element that can stay radioactive for millions of years is plutonium. This is where most nuclear power plant energy comes from.
Is the element thulium radioactive or non-radioactive?
Thulium is a non-radioactive element. It is part of the lanthanide series on the periodic table and has no stable isotopes that are radioactive. Thulium-169, the most common isotope, is stable and does not undergo radioactive decay. Therefore, thulium is considered non-radioactive.
What chemical element is not found in all living things?
Very Tricky But I Bet Its Probably The Most Toxic Element.
What is the single most radioactive element in the world?
i think it's plutonium
Is All isotopes of a given element are radioactive?
No. The most common isotope(s) of an element are often stable.
Is francium a radioactive element?
Francium (Fr) is a natural radioactive element, extremely rare.
How are the elements with atomic numbers 43 and 61 are unique?
The element with atomic numbers 43 (Technetium) and 61 (Promethium) are unique because they are the only radioactive elements before the start of the bulk of the radioactive elements. The bulk of the radioactive elements begins at atomic number 84 (Polonium). These are significant as they aren't primordial and are only found due to radioactive decay.
Is tin a rare element on earth?
Nearly 100% of tin ordinarily found in nature is of ten stable isotopes. Traces of radioactive 126Sn are found, but they are not significant. Like all elements, tin has synthetic radioactive isotopes.
Which is the most abundant radioactive element in India?
Thorium Th Cheers Sharath
Is copper radioactive?
No isotope of copper ordinarily found in nature is radioactive. Like all elements, synthetic radioactive isotopes of copper exist.
Is lutetium radioactive?
For most practical purposes, lutetium can be regarded as stable, though it is slightly radioactive. 97.41% of lutetium found in nature is stable, and 2.59% is of an isotope with a half life of 37,800,000,000 years. Like all other elements, lutetium has synthetic radioactive isotopes.
