No. Airplanes, by themselves, emit no more radiation than ore objects. When you fly you are exposed to additional radiation due to your altitude. This radiation is "ionizing" because it changes the structure of the atoms in your body. The radiation you receive flying is because you are higher above the ground and, therefore, have less air between you and space. Space bathes the Earth with radiation all of the time and air can stop some of it, as can any other object radiation passes through, such as your poor body. Air travel does not pose a health risk for anyone, normally. If you are an astronaut or a pregnant flight attendant, you might want to ask a doctor first. Otherwise, you will be quite safe.

Does kryptonite give off gas or radiation?
Radiation
What do all objects give off?
All objects give off thermal radiation.
Do electrical ovens give off radiation?
Yes - infrared radiation. If you're asking about nuclear radiation, then no.
Does the earth give off radiation?
Yes, the Earth does give off radiation in the form of heat. This radiation is primarily in the form of thermal infrared radiation emitted by the Earth's surface in response to solar energy absorbed during the day.
How do microwaves give off radiation?
Microwaves emit electromagnetic radiation in the form of microwaves when they are turned on. This radiation is absorbed by food and causes water molecules in the food to vibrate, generating heat that cooks the food.
Do fans give off radiation?
No, fans do not give off radiation. Fans simply move air around to create a cooling effect by increasing air circulation. They do not emit any harmful radiation.
What things give off UV radiation apart from the sun?
you have to use a radiation machine
What ray do all objects give off?
All objects give off infrared rays as a form of thermal radiation, which is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is emitted due to the object's temperature.
What do elements give off when they are heated?
Electromagnetic radiation.
Why do stars give off electromagnet radiation?
they are magnetic
Does any electronic give off radiation and how much?
There are many electronic devices in the world that do in fact give off radiation. These devices include computers and microwaves for example.
