Every day, we are exposed to natural background radiation from cosmic rays, radon gas from the ground, and terrestrial sources like rocks and soil. Additionally, we encounter man-made radiation from medical procedures, such as X-rays and CT scans, as well as from electronic devices like cell phones and microwaves. The overall exposure is generally low and considered safe for daily living.
