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

SOURCES OF NATURAL BACKGROUND RADIATION
Security and Defence Quarterly, 2017 After the major accidents in “Chernobyl” NPP, located on the territory of present-day Ukraine, and then in the USSR in April 1986, in Bulgaria, as well as in most European countries a lack of systems for a continuous measurement of gamma radiation was ...

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.

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.

Nonionizing Electromagnetic Irradiations; Biological Interactions, Human Safety [PDF]
Journal of Biomedical Physics and Engineering, 2023 Human is usually exposed to environmental radiation from natural and man-made sources. Therefore, it is important to investigate the effects of exposure to environmental radiation, partly related to understanding and protecting against the risk of ...

Quantitative analysis of the natural ionizing radiation level in the city of Botucatu
Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences, 2021 A poluição que afeta o meio ambiente é dividida em danos não ionizantes (NIR) e danos ionizantes (IR). Uma poluição natural provada por radioisótopos apresenta ambientes e raios cósmicos e provoca alterações bioquímicas capazes de induzir efeitos ...
