Naturally occuring Radon gas decays by alpha particle emission. However, many of the decay chain products have very short half lives, of which some decay by alpha particle emission and others by beta particle emission.

How much radiation does a strike of lightning give off?

A single strike of lightning can give off varying amounts of radiation, typically in the form of gamma rays. The amount of radiation emitted can be influenced by factors such as the energy and distance of the strike. Lightning is not a significant source of radiation exposure compared to other natural sources like the sun or radon gas.

Does any kind of Granite affect lung disease?

Almost all granites give off Radon and Thoron gas, both radioactive when they decay down the radiation chain. The dust has silica as well as the radioisotopes present, both can cause lung disease. Have any granite tested for Radon AND Thoron before purchase. Check the radiation levels till you find a low level slab, then have it tested for Radon. Do not trust lab reports unless they were done on YOUR slab. For more info go to solidsurfacealliance.org or forum.solidsurfacealliance.org


Do electrical ovens give off radiation?

Yes - infrared radiation. If you're asking about nuclear radiation, then no.


Does the earth give off radiation?

Yes, the Earth does give off radiation in the form of heat. This radiation is primarily in the form of thermal infrared radiation emitted by the Earth's surface in response to solar energy absorbed during the day.


How do microwaves give off radiation?

Microwaves emit electromagnetic radiation in the form of microwaves when they are turned on. This radiation is absorbed by food and causes water molecules in the food to vibrate, generating heat that cooks the food.
