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

Radiation has in most areas receded to natural background levels, and the vast majority of the population need not live in fear of serious health consequences due to radiation released during the accident.

The annual dose an individual receives is a result of background radiation.

The baseline temperature, as set by the background radiation from the Big Bang, is 2.7 kelvin (K).

Neutrino detectors are often built underground to isolate the detector from cosmic rays and other background radiation.

Risks are posed by radiation, by natural meteoroids and debris from human space activities.

The concept of the big bang can be traced back to the discovery of the microwave background radiation in 1965.

Background Privacy uses the theory of natural rights, and generally responds to new information and communication technologies.

A substantial failure of education about non renewable natural resources lies in the background of current public sentiment.

This is the noise that Penzias and Wilson heard the oldest sound that you're ever going to hear, the cosmic microwave background radiation left over from the Big Bang.

Against a background of sustained population growth, the accelerating deterioration of ecosystems has been leading to steadily rising pressure on natural resources.

FBiH Law on Protection from Ionising Radiation and Radiation Safety

So robots like this could be sent into collapsed buildings to assess the damage after natural disasters, or sent into reactor buildings to map radiation levels.

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

Ionizing radiation

Atomic Radiation

Monitoring of the radiation status of the environment and ensuring radiation safety

Usually, recurrent tumors after radiation are treated with surgery, and not with radiation.

Particle radiation is the radiation of energy by means of fast moving subatomic particles.

The Law on Protection of Ionizing Radiation and Radiation Security was adopted in 1999.

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.

International agencies should support epidemiological studies on populations living in areas with high background radiation such as India, China, Iran and Brazil, covering not just cancer but also genetic anomalies, and the results should be critically analysed.

So, living at the equator, we got lots and lots of ultraviolet radiation and the melanin this wonderful, complex, ancient polymer compound in our skin served as a superb natural sunscreen.

Fear of radiation, it seems, poses a far more potent health threat than does radiation itself.

For example, the cosmic microwave background radiation that we see right now was emitted at the time of photon decoupling, estimated to have occurred about 380,000 years after the Big Bang, which occurred around 13.8 billion years ago.

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.

The current conflict of opinion on the health effects of natural and medical low dose radiation exposure needed to be resolved by the collection of more direct data, both ecological and epidemiological.
