👉 Refuse-light particles, also known as radioluminescent or luminescent particles, are tiny, radioactive elements or compounds that emit light when exposed to ionizing radiation. These particles can originate from natural sources like certain minerals and rocks, or from human activities such as nuclear testing, medical treatments, and industrial processes. When these particles are inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin, they interact with atoms in biological tissues, causing electrons to become excited and then release energy in the form of light. This phenomenon is not only a fascinating natural occurrence but also has significant implications for environmental and health sciences, as it can serve as a tracer for radiation exposure and contamination.
