Most foodstuffs contain natural, radioactive isotopes : TRUE.

Radioactivity is, and always has been, present in all foodstuffs to some extent. Recent events have made the general public aware of this and most do not know about radioactivity and radiation.

There are four possible sources of radioactivity in foodstuffs: one natural and three artificial.

Natural Radioactivity
Industrial Radioactivity
Weapons Testing
4. Accidents Involving Radioactivity:

Airborne radioactivity mainly consists of nuclides attached to dust particles which settle directly onto the ground or can be washed out by rain. Some radionuclides are gases and these are mainly washed out by rain.

Thus, both vegetation and soil can be contaminated, so radioactive elements remain their in foodstuffs.

If you are scheduled for a walk, but then are suddenly faced with a personal emergency, what should you do? wag

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Tell the situation to the person involved in the schedule before taking care of your personal emergency.

Explanation:

When making a schedule with other people, informing others in case we are suddenly unable to fill the schedule is considered as a social norm in almost all society.

If you decided to take care of your personal emergency without informing them, they will most likely become offended and you will damage the social relationship that you have with them.
