The phrase "ambient knowledge" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to refer to knowledge that is acquired passively or unconsciously from the surrounding environment or context.
Example: "In a rapidly changing industry, ambient knowledge can be just as valuable as formal education, as it allows professionals to adapt to new trends and practices."
Alternatives: "contextual knowledge" or "surrounding knowledge".
From the standpoint of ambient pollution levels, knowledge of these differences is important for identifying major district "hot spots" that may be associated with exposures of children to be recruited in the study.
To the best of our knowledge, ambient H2S exposure has not previously been associated with increased mortality in population-based studies and therefore the results should be interpreted with caution.
Background: Estimating the burden of disease attributable to long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in ambient air requires knowledge of both the shape and magnitude of the relative risk (RR) function.
Although season was a strong predictor of serum 25(OH D, latitude was not as important as might have been expected based on the knowledge that ambient ultraviolet radiation levels (and particularly UVB) generally decrease with increasing latitude (r = −0.96 for annual ambient UVR) (Gies et al. 1999).
Equation (4) provides us with the capability to predict ambient noise levels from knowledge of the world gross domestic product.
Geomechanical modeling requires the determination of in situ stresses and knowledge of ambient pore fluid pressures in a potential storage site.
Finally, the article by Callaghan et al. studies the feasibility of localization of a set of wireless nodes in a rich-scattering environment using signals received from ambient sources, without any knowledge of sources locations and transmitted waveforms.
Knowledge of ambient plasma or blood glucose concentrations is used by insulin-requiring patients, particularly those with type 1 diabetes, as an aid in determining appropriate insulin doses at different times of the day (92).
Here we review knowledge on ambient-temperature (non-geothermal) freshwater springs that achieve sufficient oversaturation for CaCO3 -by physical CO2 degassing and activity of photoautotrophs- to deposit limestone, locally resulting in scenic carbonate structures: Limestone-Precipitating Springs (LPS).
In establishing the reliability of performance-related design methods for concrete – which are relevant for resistance against chloride-induced corrosion - long-term experience of local materials and practices and detailed knowledge of the ambient and local micro-climate are critical.
