Radiation Dosimetry
Radiation Dosimetry
We coordinate radiation dosimetry worn by all radioactive material users and others occupying radioactive material use areas. Dosimeters track and monitor external radiation exposures and ensure that we are following the ALARA principle to keep exposures "as low as reasonably achievable".
Dosimetry only measures external radiation exposure and doesn't protect your from radiation.

The closer the cell phone antenna tower, the less the radiofrequency (RF) exposure when you use your cell phone? For further info on cell phone towers and RF visit Cellphone Towers and RF Radiation Safety.
