You cannot hide from radioactivity. Radioactivity - the breakdown of unstable atomic nuclei, releasing radiation - is a fundamental process in nature. Even the book you are holding is slightly radioactive, but there are more serious risks.
But it remains much misunderstood - and feared, perhaps because nuclear radiation cannot be detected by human senses, and can undoubtedly do great harm if appropriate precautions are not taken. It is a process that has been harnessed to provide wide and important applications in science, medicine, industry, and energy production. In recent times there have been increasing concerns about nuclear terrorism.The traces of radioactive atoms in rock have allowed us to understand the nature and history of the Earth, in particular to date events in that history.
Radioactive dating has been used for a variety of purposes, from determining the age of the
