Radiation Measurement - Environmental and Workplace Health Health Canada www.hc-sc.gc.ca Home > Environmental & Workplace Health > Radiation Ionizing radiation is a part of Canada's environment. It can occur as electromagnetic rays (i.e., X-rays and gamma rays) or particles (i.e., alpha and beta particles) and originates from either natural (e.g. from the radioactive decay of natural radioactive substances such as radon gas and its decay products) or artificial sources. Health Canada has several measurement programs in place to protect the health of Canadians by continually monitoring radiation levels nationwide.
