Do radioisotopes expose us to radiation on a daily basis?

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.

Do certain areas of the country have higher levels of background radiation than others?

Yes. Apart from the fact that if you live near a power station (nuclear OR coal) will increase the level of background radiation, the level of argon gas in the rocks in the ground will effect the background radiation. I believe its parts of Cornwall that have the highest argon levels in the UK. Even if you lived next to a power station in an area with a lot of argon in the rocks, your yearly dose would still be many hundreds times smaller than a harmful dose.
