1. Natural Radiation is the spectrum of energy not enhanced or concentrated by artifical means. The term radiation just refers to how the energy is perceived or effects: It can exist as non-ionizing radiation, ionizing radiation, heat, light, infra-red, ultra-violet so on and so forth.
2.its important to ventilate your home for two reasons: to prevent the build-up of carbon dioxide gas, and to prevent radon, a naturally occouring radioactive gas, from building up in the home. Inhalation of radon gas can cause cancer.
3. artifical radiation is energy produced by mechanism and not natural causes. The two most common are x-rays produced as the off-spring of high speed electrons directed at a suitable target, and microwaves produced in an oven to cook food. Its radiation made on demand, as needed. There is no difference in doses,,,just time of exposure.
Since there are many forms of radiation that effect living tissue you have to be more specific with your question. Is it non-ionizing radiation or ionizing radiation? natural sunlight contains both infra-red and ultra violet radiation, both non-ionizing on cells in its effects. Obviously, we walk around ok in sunlight, since we wear clothes and suncreen and such to protect ourselves, plus use time of exposure to prevent bad things from happening.
4. once again, be more specific. Radiation can be many forms of energy. What type of radiation it is will determine how much is safe.

in our surrounding visible light is the common radiation.
radiation is a form of energy so if there’s no we can’t see
x-ray and gamma ray not totally an artificial these radiation are rare but we can make artificial radiation like microwave for communication gamma ray and xray for medical uses.x ray and gamma ray very harmful to all living things
