What about ionising radiation sources that are not work related We are all exposed to natural background radiation from sources outside of work such as the earth itself cosmic radiation from. The US Environmental Protection Agency EPA is responsible for advising the government on radiation hazards and regulating certain sources of radioactivity in the environment This booklet provides basic facts about radiation science as well as inform Uranium 238 (U238) Radioactive DecayHere we are concerned mainly with ionising radiation from the atomic nucleus.
