Since the mid-1980s, there has been a growing concern among some pollution experts with the topic of indoor air pollution, and as a major part of this problem, the presence in homes and other structures of ionizing radiation in the form of radon gas. It is beginning to appear that radon s earlier designation as radium emanation was not inappropriate. Most health... 

A small, calibrated electroscope worn by laboratory personnel and designated to detect and measure incident ionizing radiation or chemical exposure. 

Perfluoroelastomers (ASTM designation FFKM) are essentially copolymers of two perfluorinated monomers, TFE and PMVE with a CSM, which is essential for cross-linking. Perfluoroelastomers can be cured by ionizing radiation without any additives. The advantage of radiation cured FFKM is the absence of any additives, so that the product is very pure. The disadvantage is the relatively low upper-use temperature of the cured material, typically 150°C, which limits the material to special sealing applications only [32]. 

Amounts of radioactivity are designated in terms of rads, roentgens, curies, disintegrations per unit time (minute), or counts per unit time (minute). The relationships between these various unit designations are summarized in Table 3-3. The first two units are rarely used except for measuring human exposure to ionizing radiation. It is worthy of emphasis... 

The detection of radiation is based on the interactions of the various types of ionizing radiations with matter. The differences between the interactions and the penetrating abilities of the various radiations are very relevant to radiation detection and measurement—e.g. they partly explain the variety of detector types and designs. 

The Medicines Commission also includes four civil servants (pharmacists) with an advisory capacity the inspector general of pharmacies the director of the Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology a pharmacist designated by the minister responsible for social security and the inspector general of the Radiation Protection Division (for radiopharmaceuticals and medicincil products treated with ionizing radiation). These civil servants can also be represented by their deputies. 

A second DNA repair system in bacteria is designated excision repair. This repair system efficiently repairs DNA strands that have been irradiated with UV light or ionizing radiations, oxidatively damaged, or that have chemical-DNA adducts in...
