A member asked:
Could radiation be transmitted to you through airborne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Radiation refers to particles like electrons going through space being emanated from a radioactive source. So, in that sense that are through the air, but it is unlike viruses transmitting through the air when someone coughs or sneezes. We are subject to radiation from space all the time and then from earthbound sources.
