Did you know that radiation can be both natural and man-made?
We are exposed to natural radiation daily; the sources can be different – soil, cosmic radiation or underground gases. And at the same time we get radiation from our own inventions such as TV sets, cell phones, laptops and microwave ovens. Radiation doesn’t always mean danger and today, Smart is the New Sexy will try to clarify how much of radiation is normal and where is the limit after which you’d better start worrying.

Types of radiation
There are various types of radiation, each having different characteristics. The common ionizing radiations generally talked about are:
• Alpha radiation, a type of particle radiation made up of the nuclei of helium atoms.
• Beta radiation, another type of particle radiation made up of high-energy electrons or positrons.
• Neutron radiation, yet another type of particle radiation made up of high-energy neutrons.
• Gamma radiation (Gamma rays), a type of radiation made up of high energy photons.
• X-ray radiation (X-rays), a type of radiation also made up of photons but which typically contain less energy than gamma rays.
Although we cannot see or feel the presence of radiation, it can be detected and measured in the minutest quantities with quite simple radiation measuring instruments.
