It seems like there is always a news story somewhere about somebody being exposed to some sort of harmful radiation. Here are a few news stories I found from the last week, which deal with a variety of different radiation issues. Taken together, they are a decent introduction to the general issues surrounding radiation and our exposure to it.
1) Is your countertop exposing you to harmful radiation?
2) New radiation therapy system
3) Medical imaging and our radiation exposure
4) French government compensating veterans for exposure, even though the impact is hard to prove.
Also, here's one quick little blurb that brings up a few more questions:
5) Can you take a pill to protect you from radiation?
