The ionizing radiation symbol, featuring three curved blades emanating from a central point, has been used since 1946 to warn workers, scientists and the public of the presence of radioactive material ...

If you didn’t know, OSHA is working to help protect employees who are exposed to ionizing radiation as an effect of their job environments. Check out the OSHA ionizing radiation page for information ...

Ionizing radiation exposure results in the activation of several tyrosine kinase receptors that participate in radiation-induced DNA damage response and radioresistance. We previously showed that ...

Birds in the exclusion zone around Chernobyl are adapting to -- and may even be benefiting from -- long-term exposure to radiation, ecologists have found. The study is the first evidence that wild ...

People who work in jobs where they are continuously exposed to low levels of ionizing radiation may be at increased risk of hypertension, according to new data from a decades-long study of Russian ...

Our new study of the nearby starburst galaxy Haro 11 has shown that strong X-ray-emitting superwinds may be a key mechanism enabling galaxies to leak ionizing radiation, which is believed to have ...

Although most types of radiation are invisible, except for the visible part of the EM spectrum, there are many ways that we can make various types of radiation visible. One of these methods is called ...

Radiation is energy that moves from one place to another in a form that can be described as waves or particles. We are exposed to radiation in our everyday life. Some of the most familiar sources of ...

Bluetooth devices emit low levels of nonionizing radiation. Exposure to low amounts of this type of radiation is not harmful to humans. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), routine ...
