Yes. As isotopes decay they release release alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. The kind on radiation they release depends on the source material. Since most of these isotopes are naturally occurring in the Earth's crust, their decay can be detected as background radiation.
answ2. background radiation is usually of no concern unless you live in a granite area, in which case, IF it is releasing Radon, that is harmful.
The potassium40 in your body is decaying to Argon40, with a release of about the same amount of radioactivity as you you'd get from an ionization smoke detector. Or from lying alongside someone in bed.
Because bananas are high in potassium, it has been known for a bulk shipment to trigger radiation alarms at a port.
But continue with your usual lifestyle, and enjoy bananas.

Are we exposed to radiation from radioisotopes on a daily basis?
Yes we are! Though the amount is so small that it really has no major effect on us. This radiation does cause some genetic mutations if it encounters the DNA of the cell, but there are many other possible sources of mutations that make it hard to clearly blame a given mutation on radiation at the levels due to ordinary daily exposure.
