answered-by-expert Expert Answer

Release of radioactive substances into the atmosphere, water and soil mainly due to human activities is known as radioactive pollution.

It is the most dangerous pollutant on the Earth as it is not easy to safely dispose of radioactive wastes. These wastes remain in the environment for a longer period of time. Any leakage in a nuclear plant may threaten the survival of humans living in nearby areas. It also has disastrous effects on plants, animals and soil.
