Plants that Can Absorb (Some) Radiation

We are regularly exposed to our devices when working online. Our laptops, the wifi, and more gadgets as innovations roll out. These gadgets emit radiation. Short term high-level radiation heats the body and might lead to severe complications.

But for long-term exposure to lower frequency radiation, there is no conclusive evidence yet that it can be detrimental to our body. Scientists are continuously researching its effects, especially with the increase in usage per household. But it’s better to be safe than sorry.
