5.1 INTRODUCTION Radioactive pollution can be defined as the physical pollution of lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere due to emission of radioactive substances having high-energy particles. These radioactive substances may be released into the environment because of handling of radioactive materials and wastes, nuclear explosions, manufacturing and handling of nuclear weapons, mining of radioactive minerals, and nuclear power plant accidents. This unit deals with the definition ... Radioactive pollution is the presence of radioactive substances in the environment, which can cause damage to living organisms. Learn about the natural and man-made sources of radioactivity, and some examples of radioactive disasters. The extent of damage or danger posed to the environment depends on the radioactive material concentration, the energy emitted by the radiation, the proximity of the radioactive materials to those exposed, and the radiation type. Herein is a detailed explanation of the causes, effects, and solutions of radioactive pollution. Radioactive pollution as the name suggests radioactive, which means materials that consist of atoms that have unstable nuclei. They release energy in the form of rays and these rays are harmful to living organisms and to the environment, these are called radioactive rays.
