Why is my dryer radioactive?
My Geiger counter measures a background radiation level in my home of 0.09–0.11 μSv/h. When I stick it inside the dryer right after it finishes a cycle (while the clothes are still inside), it registers a radiation level of 0.16–0.18 μSv/h. What happens during the dryer cycle that accounts for this reading? From what I understand it has something to do with trapping radon, but how exactly does this happen?
