Occupational exposure to natural radiation
Science of The Total Environment, 1985Natural sources of radiation can make an important contribution to the exposures of people at work. Two areas of interest are work with minerals having elevated concentrations of activity and work in buildings where radon daughter concentrations are elevated.

Double Exposure: Natural and Artificial Ultraviolet Radiation Exposure in Beachgoers
Southern Medical Journal, 2003Although the beach is a high-risk environment for ultraviolet light exposure and subsequent skin damage, little is known about beachgoer tanning habits outside the beach setting. Our purpose was to evaluate indoor tanning and additional, nonbeach sunlight exposure in a beachgoing population.We conducted an epidemiologic survey.There was more use of ...

Our knowledge of the different components of natural radiation exposure of man forms a vital scientific base for the assessment of the effects of additional non-natural radiation exposure, to which people are increasingly subject within the context of modern technical and scientific development.

Rates of exposure to natural, accidental, and suicide deaths
Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, 2021AbstractObjectiveWe expand upon previous research examining the prevalence of exposure to suicide deaths by comparing these to natural and accidental deaths. Furthermore, we examine whether participants are more apt to lie about the cause of death for a suicide than for an accidental or natural death.MethodThe sample consisted of 1,430 respondents who ...

Limitation of exposure to natural radioactivity in Canada
Science of The Total Environment, 1985The jurisdictional responsibility for natural radioactivity in Canada is divided between the federal and provincial governments. The desire for uniform standards has resulted in the formation of a scientific group to advise governments concerning the desirability of standards for exposure to natural radioactivity.

Nature of exposure to chrysotile.
The Annals of occupational hygiene, 1994Fibres in general, and chrysotile fibres in particular, have properties that set them apart from other airborne particles in terms of their aerodynamic behaviour and the nature of their interactions with cells and fluids in vivo. Their lengths and diameters are primary determinants of their penetration through conductive airways to deposition sites ...

Exposure to nature counteracts aggression after depletion
Aggressive Behavior, 2017Acts of self‐control are more likely to fail after previous exertion of self‐control, known as the ego depletion effect. Research has shown that depleted participants behave more aggressively than non‐depleted participants, especially after being provoked.

Natural ionizing radiation exposure of the Spanish population
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2007This study investigates the exposure of the Spanish population to natural radiation sources. The annual average effective dose is estimated to be 1.6 mSv, taking into account contributions from cosmic radiation (18%), terrestrial gamma radiation (30%), radon and thoron inhalation (34%) and ingestion (18%).

Prisoner exposure to nature: Benefits for wellbeing and citizenship
Medical Hypotheses, 2019The direct or indirect experience of crime can cause individuals to feel vengeful against the perpetrator(s). The prison system reflects this sentiment by creating austere environments that are dehumanizing, punitive, and hopeless. Prisons are, therefore, environments in which retribution and punishment take priority over rehabilitation.

Driver's exposure to distractions in their natural driving environment
Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2005Unobtrusive video camera units were installed in the vehicles of 70 volunteer drivers over 1-week time periods to study drivers' exposure to distractions. The video data were coded based on a detailed taxonomy of driver distractions along with important contextual variables and driving performance measures.
