Generated sources of radiation

Generated sources of radiation have delivered many benefits to our lives, from light bulbs to bar heaters, and communication networks to medical treatments and diagnostics. All these activities generate radiation that interacts with our body in some way. Just as for natural sources of radiation, the potential health risks of artificially generated radiation vary greatly depending on the type of radiation, exposure time, and amount of energy transferred.
