Practice question from chapter text

Distinguish radiation exposure, contamination and natural background sources.

اشعاعی تعرّض، آلودگی اور قدرتی پس منظر کا فرق دیں۔

Solution & explanation

Exposure means radiation reaches a body; contamination means radioactive material is on or inside it. Natural background includes cosmic secondaries, ground radionuclides, radon and internal natural isotopes. Human activities can add exposure. Sources add contributions; cosmic and terrestrial radiation do not cancel each other.
