All living things are radioactive in a way because most of the radioactive isotopes on Earth are naturally occurring, only a few of these isotopes are man-made or produced. The two radioactive isotopes found in organisms are CARBON (which is used in carbon-dating in archaeology) and PHOSPHORUS (which are found in bones and its structures).
