1. Smoke detectors use Am-241, an alpha emitter, to detect smoke particles. A parent is concerned that having a smoke detector may expose their child to radioactivity. Which explanation most accurately addresses this concern? a Concern is justified since inhaling even small amounts of alpha particles is bad. b Smoke inhalation risk is immediate and cancer risk from radiation long-term. c If the detector is on the ceiling, the radioactivity exposure is minimal. d Alpha particles don't travel far and...
