   The radioactive isotope providing the most radioactivity is   
   Potassium 40.  Other natural radioactives are Carbon 14,   
   natural Uranium, Thorium, Radon, and others.  Potassium is   
   needed by all life of any complexity, and separating isotopes   
   is VERY difficult and expensive.   
      
   Except for a few localities, natural radioactivity is greater   
   than that due to man's nuclear activities.
