    Some of the people here don’t realize that our smoke detectors have radioactive elements inside it

      Some people havent read the article where it states they use radioactive batteries like this in pacemakers and that there is no external radiation from the battery.

      Depends, in my country ionization detectors have been banned over 20 years ago, you’ll mostly find optical / photoelectric detectors here.
