Environmental radiation monitoring. Health Protection Agency worker using a Geiger counter to monitor radiation levels in a coastal environment. Most natural radiation is due to cosmic rays from space, and radon, a radioactive gas produced by the decay of radium from uranium ores. Human sources of radiation include nuclear power stations and pollution from coal-fired power stations. Photographed on a beach in the UK.
