A member asked:

Tile was from italy, painted and glaze. say it was radioactive. if a iphone touched it, would it be radioactive?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: The radioactivity in the tile likely relates to small amounts of natural uranium or other radioactive isotopes in the materials used to make the tile. Touching the tile won't transfer radioactivity to anything else. The risk is likely low unless the tile is close to the body for long periods of time.
