Radioactive pollution refers to the release of ionizing radiation into the environment as a result of human activity, while ionizing radiation is the form of radiation that has a short wavelength and a high frequency and is the most dangerous kind.
Answer:
Radioactive Pollution is defined as the increase in the natural radiation levels caused by human activities. It is estimated that about 20% of radiation we are exposed to is due to human activities. The human activities that can release radiation involve activities with radioactive materials such as mining, handling and processing of radioactive materials, handling and storage of radioactive waste, as well as the use of radioactive reactions to generate energy (nuclear power plants), along with the use of radiation in medicine (e.g. X-rays) and research.
