Journal of Environmental Radioactivity

The journal of environmental radioactivity is a special book that talks about the stuff we can't see or feel called radiation. Radiation is a type of energy that can be found all around us, like the heat from the sun or the lights in our homes. But sometimes, certain things like rocks or even nuclear power plants can give off too much radiation and it can be harmful.

The journal talks about how this kind of radiation affects the environment, like the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the plants and animals around us. Scientists who study radiation help us understand how to keep ourselves safe by measuring how much radiation is in the environment and figuring out the best ways to protect us from too much exposure.

This journal is important because it helps us understand how radiation affects our world and how we can work to make sure we stay safe from harmful levels of radiation.
