A simple yes or no is beyond my capability. Behind every answer is a litany of research, and I am troubled with the simplicity of this. After all, every human being -- nay, every LIVING being -- emits a certain level of radioactivity. Generally under 12 microns, but really, 5000 atoms of potassium-40 decays every second from our bodies. While this is essentially a negligible amount, it adds up. After all, after one year of sleeping next to someone, you absorb 1 millerem of radiation.
But, for all intents and purposes, you do not emit any more radiation than is normal for a human being.
I'd prefer you take this information with a grain of salt, so to speak, and read the reports.
