What are alarms made of?
Americium oxide A man-made element, all of its isotopes are radioactive. Americium-241 emits alpha particles and is used in smoke alarms as americium oxide – an alarm contains less than a microgram. When an alpha particle collides with oxygen or nitrogen, it grabs negative electrons, and thereby ionises them.
