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.
I wonder if its because of a valid reason, or just a precaution
It's probably safe until someone decides to go look what's inside their smoke detector
I don't put smoke detector next to my head for every night.
Or right next to my balls for like 10 hours a day.
