Holes in the ozone layer exposed Australians to cancer causing radiation.

The radiation to which the human population is exposed comes from very diverse sources.

It is rare for workers to be seriously exposed to radiation as a result of accidents.

This is a threat to international security and also a danger to innocent bystanders exposed to radiation.

Occupational radiation exposures are incurred by several categories of workers who work with radioactive materials or are exposed at work to man made or natural radiation sources.

If you don't get out of there, you're going to be exposed to lethal radiation in very short order.

Vitamin D The human body can synthesize vitamin D when skin is exposed to ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

The most relevant sources of information on the biological effects of radiation are those obtained directly from studies of human population groups exposed to known and different amounts of radiation.

This is because these people were exposed to low radiation doses that in most cases were comparable to natural background levels.

After the disaster he left his home in Tokyo and travelled south to Kyoto, in fear of being exposed to radiation.

An excess of severe mental retardation was observed in some children exposed to radiation in utero at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The problem with using living people is that to take an X ray, if I X ray you, you get exposed to radiation.

Concerned about the potentially harmful effects on present and future generations resulting from the levels of radiation to which man is exposed,

Workers exposed in Russia to a combination of external radiation and plutonium did have excess lung cancers at the higher exposure levels.

One major exception is the large workforce exposed to enhanced levels of radiation from natural sources, for example, in parts of the extractive industries.

7. The Committee has paid particular attention to the review of results of epidemiological studies of human populations exposed to ionizing radiation, since these form the main basis for quantifying the risks of radiation induced cancer in man.

In recent years, epidemiological studies have been reported on occupationally exposed persons, on population groups living in areas having different levels of background radiation and on people exposed by the release of radioactive materials to their environment.

Concerned about the potentially harmful effects on present and future generations resulting from the levels of radiation to which mankind and the environment are exposed,

Concerned about the potentially harmful effects on present and future generations resulting from the levels of radiation to which mankind and the environment are exposed,

At present, the most promising studies of general application are those of workers exposed to several kinds of radiation in the course of their work.

When human tissues are exposed to radiation, various changes in the cell genetic code (mutations) are induced randomly, with probabilities depending on dose as already discussed.

The information provided by experimental biology is also supplemented by biophysical knowledge of the initial deposition of energy from radiation in the exposed tissues.

The purpose of the experiment was to determine the highest radiation doses that the vital organs of the human body may be exposed to during such a space flight.

Some studies at doses of more direct interest, for example, on radiation workers in the nuclear industry and people exposed to radon in houses, are now under way.

The radiation induced shift, for a dose of 1 Sv, would result in severe mental retardation in about 40 per cent of the exposed individuals.

It evaluates the evidence for radiation induced health effects from studies of the health of survivors of the atomic bombs in Japan and other exposed groups.

Apart from the widespread contamination of steel products in Mexico and the United States, about 1,000 people were exposed to substantial levels of radiation, with effective doses up to about 250 mSv.

All deterministic effects are somatic, that is, they occur in the exposed individual, while stochastic effects can be either somatic (for example, radiation induced cancer) or hereditary.

The consequences of exposures to radiation are assessed (chap. II, sect. B) by making combined use of the results of radiobiological research and the results of epidemiological studies of exposed human populations.

13. Studies of other radiation exposed populations such as cervical cancer patients, ankylosing spondylitics and children treated for tinea capitis serve to clarify and generally support findings from the Life Span Study.

I was exposed to him.

Research published in 2004, by a team at the University of Athens, had a reduction in reproductive capacity in fruit flies exposed to 6 minutes of 900 MHz pulsed radiation for five days.

If people of varying susceptibility are exposed to radiation, the threshold in a given tissue for deterministic effects of sufficient severity to be observable will be reached at smaller doses in the more sensitive individuals.

Radiation therapy Radiation therapy (also called radiotherapy, X ray therapy, or irradiation) is the use of ionizing radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors.

You've exposed us to public ridicule!

The Law on protection from ionizing radiation and radiation related security,

1.1.2.2.4 Replace the radiation hazards involved and with radiation protection including .

Further radiation treatment will further damage normal tissue, and the tumor might be resistant to further radiation.

Exposure to ionizing radiation in medicine, industry and research, everywhere where the radiation is used, is increasing.
