There are many practical applications to the use of radioactivity/radiation. Radioactive sources are used to study living organisms, to diagnose and treat diseases, to sterilize medical instruments and food, to produce energy for heat and electric power, and to monitor various steps in all types of industrial processes.
Radioactivity occurs on almost all places, situations and time. Smoke detectors (second picture) contain small amount of radioactive material and produces low electrical current, a house (first picture) contains radiation like cosmic radiation.
