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.
Radioactivity usually results from nuclear reactions, that is, reactions which involve the. breaking of nuclear bonds having energies of the order of 106 eV = 1MeV. The three most. common types of radioactive emissions are: alpha rays: Î± rays or Î± particles are high-energy helium nuclei (2 protons + 2 neutrons), which. are spontaneously emitted during the decay of radioactive nuclei. Î±-rays are extremely. dangerous, but, fortunately, they have very little penetrating power.
