7 Ways You’re Exposed to Radiation — When Should You Worry?

What’s the truth about radiation risks? Yahoo News assembles a list of radiation exposures that you face, and attempts to separate fact from fiction:

1. Radiation from the Japanese nuclear disaster. An earthquake and tsunami has left officials struggling to contain radiation from the Fukushima Daiichi power plant. If you live in the U.S., there’s little need for alarm — although minimal levels of radiation have been found in several U.S. states, the amount is so low that it poses no threat.

2. Full-body airport scanners. These machines use backscatter X-rays, a form of ionizing radiation.  One recent study suggested that airport travelers would have to be scanned more than 50 times to get the same dose as that of one dental X-ray.

3. Airplane travel. Flying in an airplane exposes you to natural radiation. The amount is still very small.

4. Cell phones and wireless devices. Mobile phones and laptops use microwaves. This may be a real problem — holding a cell phone next to your head has been found to affect brain activity.

5. Mammograms. These X-ray tests use ionizing radiation to image the breast. One mammogram is comparable to four chest X-rays.

6. X-rays and CT scans. These could be a problem — the more radiation exposure you have, the more the health risks rise.

7. Radon. This naturally radioactive gas is found in the basements of many homes. It triggers about 20,000 cases of lung cancer a year in nonsmokers.
