'environmental radiation' is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It is most commonly used when referring to radiation in the environment from natural or man-made sources, such as nuclear reactors or X-ray machines. For example, "Regulations have been implemented to limit environmental radiation produced by medical facilities."
In previous studies using a screening assay for the detection of NF-κB-dependent gene induction (HEK-pNF-κB-d2EGFP/Neo cells), the activation of this transcription factor by heavy ions was shown [Baumstark-Khan, C., Hellweg, C.E., Arenz, A., Meier, M.M. Cellular monitoring of the nuclear factor kappa B pathway for assessment of space environmental radiation. Radiat. Res. 164, 527 530, 2005].
Her work on the effects of low-dose radiation on female germ-cells mutation in mammals indicated that only a fraction of mutation is due to low-dose environmental radiation.
This creates a barrier much like a Faraday cage, a metal enclosure that protects those inside it from radiation.The idea is to neutralize environmental radiation before it reaches the fetus.
Mr. Isnard said that initial tests at the site showed no change to environmental radiation levels, and that the foundry building's conditioning and ventilation systems continued to function normally.
Some scientists who are willing to concede the potent effect of environmental radiation on man nevertheless question whether mutagenic chemicals can, as a practical proposition, have the same effect; they point out that radiation has great penetrating power, and doubt whether chemicals can reach the germ cells.
Everything from environmental radiation to food can introduce errors into DNA that disrupt otherwise normal genes.
It will doubtless be an expensive trick to pull off, but if DO-RA's makers are able to drive their technology inside millions of phones as an embedded sensor that ends up being included as standard they could be sitting atop a gigantic environmental radiation-monitoring data mountain.
We do a lot of work to increase awareness and training courses on environmental and radiation protection, but we also do outreach work in the local community and mentoring schemes with sixth formers interested in the industry.
BEAM is equipped with sensors inside the module that will be used to track thermal, environmental, and radiation protection properties throughout its two-year stay on the ISS.
A critical process is the fragmentation of larger debris to microplastics that occurs under environmental conditions (radiation, abrasion).
To determine the impact of environmental UV radiation on human health and ecosystems demands monitoring systems that weight the spectral irradiance according to the biological responses under consideration.
