A review on natural background radiation [PDF]
Advanced Biomedical Research, 2013 The world is naturally radioactive and approximately 82% of human-absorbed radiation doses, which are out of control, arise from natural sources such as cosmic, terrestrial, and exposure from inhalation or intake radiation sources.

Deinococcus radiodurans UWO298 Dependence on Background Radiation for Optimal Growth [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Ionizing radiation is a major environmental variable for cells on Earth, and so organisms have adapted to either prevent or to repair damages caused by it, primarily from the appearance and accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this study, we

Development of a standard method for primary monitoring of exposure to environmental radiation
Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences, 2022 All living things are constantly exposed to background radiation. The presence of radioactive materials in the earth's crust and cosmic radiation are largely responsible for this exposure.
