Ranking the most radioactive things in life

The ten items that radiate the most in life are (in no particular order): glossy magazine paper, humidifiers, old pottery and glassware, granite kitchens, laptops, microwaves, induction cooktops, cell phones, electric blankets, and hairdryers.

1. Glossy magazine paper.

If a magazine publisher wants to spend a little money, it might start printing on glossy paper, mainly because it looks better and the idea is that consumers are more likely to want to buy a magazine if they see a very shiny cover.

Making the paper look very smooth involves covering it with kaolin, a white clay that also stores radioactive elements, and which is also widely used as a food additive and as an ingredient in many over-the-counter medicines.

2. Humidifier.

20 centimeters away from the humidifier, the radiation value is zero, 10 centimeters away, the radiation value is still zero, 5 centimeters away, the radiation value is 0.27 μt (microtesla), close to the humidifier will reach 5.35 μt (microtesla), exceeding the safety standard of 0.2 μt.

So when using a humidifier, at least 20 centimeters away from the quality of a safe distance, do not let the humidifier close to the side, so as to prevent the harm of radiation.

3, old pottery and glassware.

Many pieces of pottery made before 1960-mostly orange or red-contain high levels of uranium because it's mixed into the glaze, which is high in uranium. Likewise, if you have any antique glass with a greenish color, they also contain uranium. Needless to say, it's not recommended to reuse these, especially considering that a lot of old china leaks lead as well.

4. Granite kitchens.

In this kitchen, almost all prepared food is exposed to radiation. This is because granite is a great rock to retain naturally occurring radiation.

5. Laptop.

30 centimeters away from the laptop, the radiation value shows zero, slowly approaching the laptop, 15 centimeters the radiation value shows still zero. When close to the edge of the laptop, the radiation shows 1.6 μt (microtesla), the radiation level in line with the safety standards.

6, microwave ovens.

National standards require that microwave equipment before leaving the factory, the production department must carry out the identification of energy leakage, 5 cm from the equipment shell, the value of energy leakage shall not exceed 1,000 μw/cm2. According to the principle of operation of the microwave oven, microwave leakage can only occur around the door, and microwave radiation with the increase in the distance is very fast attenuation.
