Best Answer

Radio active material that occurs naturally where human activities exposure to ionizing radiation are naturally-occurring radioactive materials, or NORM. They include uranium and thorium. Radioactive materials are mainly used in engineering and science departments. This type of material emits gamma rays or particles that as radioactive energy.

How is radioactivity used in fertiliser?

Phosphorous 32 is an radio active one. As this is along with the fertilizer then this would be absorbed by the plants. By tracing the presence of these radio active material in the stem we can know about the amount of fertilizer absorbed by the plant and the season when such absorption is more effective could be understood.

What happens when you shoot electricity through radio active material?

Usually nothing special should happen. Specifically, I wouldn't expect any special effect as a result of the radioactivity.


Does radiation requires direct contact?

Yes it does require direct contact with the radiation in order to cause short term and likely long term negative effects to oneself but it is not necessary to be in direct contact with the radio active material itself. The radiation itself is the danger, although the closer you are to the source which is producing the radiation the worse the effects will be because the radiation will be stronger the closer you get to the source which is creating and or supplying the radio activity. So holding or touching the radio active material directly would be the worse case scenario and approaching this material in a measure of some sort would increase the damage to oneself exponentially.
