It's more like spicy elements, since the vast majority of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and argon isotopes are, by occurrence, not radioactive, and radioactive elements would still be dangerous in a vacuum environment.
Also those suits don't protect you from radiation. All they are there for is to prevent you from tracking radioactive contamination outside of a contaminated area.

They might protect you against alpha/beta particles
I suppose but normal clothes would too.
What about radiation in space..

I prefer to think of radiation as venomous rocks.
