Smoke alarms contain a weak source made of Americium-241. Alpha particles are emitted from here, which ionise the air, so that the air conducts electricity and a small current flows. If smoke enters the alarm, this absorbs the a particles, the current reduces, Am-241 has a half-life of 460 years. In paper mills,
