These compounds emit alpha and beta radiation. But most of this radiation gets absorbed by the rocks themselves and never makes it into the air. Gamma radiation is often produced at the same time as alpha and beta radiation. Gamma radiation can pass through the rocks and so this is the type that we detect most of.
There are three major types of natural radioactivity: Alpha Radiation. Alpha radiation consists of a stream of positively charged particles, called alpha particles, which have an atomic mass of 4 and a charge of +2 (a helium nucleus). When an alpha particle is ejected from a nucleus, the mass number of the nucleus decreases by four units and the atomic number decreases by two units.
