AGM2015: A wordlwide v̄e flux map combining geoneutrinos from natural Uranium-238 and Thorium-232 decay in the Earth's crust and mantle as well as manmade reactor-v̄e emitted by power reactors worldwide.
Environmental radioactivity is part of the overall background radiation and is produced by radioactive materials in the humanenvironment. While some radioisotopes, such as strontium-90 (90Sr) and technetium-99 (99Tc), are only found on Earth as a result of human activity, and some, like potassium-40 (40K), are only present due to natural processes, a few isotopes, such as tritium (3H), result from both natural processes and human activities. The concentration and location of some natural isotopes, particularly uranium-238 (238U), can be affected by human activity, such as nuclear weapons testing, which caused a global fallout, with up to 2.4 million deaths by 2020.
