In our house the windowsills contain asbestos, but as long as nobody tries to saw them or anything, there is no need be afraid, that's why we were allowed to keep them. The removal is probably more dangerous than just leaving them where they are. Same for your pottery, it only got hazardous when it was broken into shards.

A lot of houses in the UK have 'popcorn ceilings', a style of room ceiling that often contains asbestos, but are rarely seen as any danger. The main danger of asbestos is where it's used for something subject to wear and tear. A windowsill, like a ceiling, is probably fine, but if it were the window frame itself not so much, seeing as opening/closing the window might be enough wear and tear to free asbestos dust that's actually dangerous.

I think you meant 15mSv, and not Sv, but regardless, holding the item in your hand would NOT expose you to an annual dose that high, since only your hand is being exposed, and not the rest of your body. Hence the effective dose from holding the item is almost nothing (about the same as background). Saying that it's the same as standing next to the sarcophagus is far from true

I've actually seen countless people walking around with that dark circular shape object around their neck. Always thoughts it's probably some pseudo science health thingy, for it to actually emit radiation is totally crazy. Goes to show, don't simply trust whatever a person says when they are trying to sell you something.

@rompevuevitos22210 ай бұрын
It depends on the place. But chances are the workers have proper protection. For starters it is usually not that simple to get radioactive material in industrial amounts without the proper facilities and trained personnel. You'll just be told no. Also this kind of radiation is not THAT powerful, if you wear just silk gloves and not bring it up to your face, you should be fine. The problem is when you keep it close enough to let the particles penetrate your skin. Let alone keeping it near softer tissue (like your eyes or mouth)
