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.
The radiation one typically encounters is one of four types: alpha radiation, beta radiation, gamma radiation, and x radiation. Neutron radiation is also encountered in nuclear power plants and high-altitude flight and emitted from some industrial radioactive sources. Gamma radiation and x rays are highly penetrating electromagnetic radiation. 2  Some characteristics of these radiations are: 3  Examples of some gamma emitters: iodine-131, cesium-137, cobalt-60, radium-226, and technetium-99m. 4  Gamma radiation or x rays are able to travel many feet in air and many inches in human tissue.
