Smoking Cigarettes Exposes Smokers to Radiation
Original: Tobacco – Smoking Cigarettes – Radiation Dose
Smokers are receiving a measurable dose of radiation from cigarettes, according to material on man-made sources of radiation. Tobacco contains small amounts of radioactive polonium-210 and lead-210, which are inhaled when smoking and can accumulate in the lungs, adding a radiation exposure on top of the well-known chemical risks of smoking.
Why now: The little-known fact that cigarette smoke delivers a radioactive dose surprises readers and puts smoking risks in a new light.
