Radiation and Radioactivity : Sources of Radiation |
Most radiation comes to us from the sun and from cosmic radiation -- so that people at higher elevations like Colorado and adjacent Rocky Mountain States receive more than those who live at sea level. However, a lot of radiation also comes from the soil and rocks around us. Granite and marble have background levels of radioactivity. A relatively small additional amount comes from our man-made technology. |
