81Fossil fuel — Coal, one of the fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are fuels formed by natural processes such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms. The age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes… …
82Wireless electronic devices and health — For mobile phones, see Mobile phone radiation and health. The World Health Organization has acknowledged that electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are influencing the environment (but not people), and that some people are worried about possible… …
83Committed effective dose equivalent (CEDE) — The committed effective dose equivalent or CEDE is an estimate of the radiation dose to a person resulting from inhalation or ingestion of a given amount of radioactive substance. The CEDE is expressed in rem or sieverts (Sv). It takes into… …

85Committed dose equivalent (CDE) — Committed dose equivalent is the dose to a specific organ or tissue that is received from an intake of radioactive material by an individual during the 50 year period following the intake. The CDE is expressed in rem or sieverts (Sv). References… …
86Collective dose — is a measure of the total amount of effective dose multiplied by the size of the exposed population. Collective dose is usually measured in units of person rem or person sieverts, or man rem or man sievert. References European Nuclear Society… …
87Cumulative dose — is the total dose resulting from repeated exposures of ionizing radiation to an occupationally exposed worker to the same portion of the body, or to the whole body, over a period of time. References USNRC Glossary See also Radioactivity Radiation …
88Deep-dose equivalent — The Deep dose equivalent (DDE) is the external whole body exposure dose equivalent at a tissue depth of 1 cm (1000 mg/cm2). References USNRC glossary See also Radioactivity Radiation poisoning Ionizing radiation Total effective dose equivalent… …
89Half-life — This article is about the scientific and mathematical term. For other uses, see Half life (disambiguation). Number of half lives elapsed Fraction remaining Percentage remaining 0 1/1 100 1 1/2 50 2 …
90Skin effect — Skin depth redirects here. For the depth (layers) of biological/organic skin, see skin. Skin effect is the tendency of an alternating electric current (AC) to distribute itself within a conductor with the current density being largest near the… …
