Watch a video showing how much radiation we are exposed to everyday

It compares some of the common sources of radiation in our everyday life

Newsroom May 18 02:49

People are often concerned about how radiation exposure may be affecting their health.

The video produced by Alex Kuzoian for Business Insider compares some of the common sources of radiation in our everyday life and reveals some surprises. For example, living within 80 km (50 miles) of a nuclear power plant exposes you to less radiation than an airport scanner, or a banana.
