Beta radiation can penetrate human skin, but cannot go all the way through the body.

Some of the beta radiation is absorbed while passing through the product.

When first discovered, it was not known what beta radiation was.

In fact, beta radiation is just a bunch of electrons being released.

It may interact with your body just like all the other beta radiation you experience in your life.

Then it was discovered that beta radiation is negatively charged particles.

Survey meters do not read alpha or beta radiation.

Bremsstrahlung, which, although much weaker than the beta radiation, is penetrating.

This process emits soft beta radiation without a gamma.

This usually has a sliding shield which enables discrimination between gamma and beta radiation.

In all of these therapeutic uses, I destroys tissue by short-range beta radiation.

Beta radiation consists of particles (high-speed electrons) given off by some fallout.

Avoiding direct exposure with fallout particles will prevent most injuries from beta radiation.

The main threat of beta radiation exposure comes from hot particles in contact with or close to the skin of a person.

This is why Beta radiation is harmful to humans.

It emits beta radiation - electrons - but its particles are so small they do less tissue damage.

The acute dose-dependent effects of beta radiation on skin are as follows:

It is this that causes beta radiation.

Carbon-14 produces light particles of beta radiation.

Several isotopes of lead, such as Pb-210 which emits beta radiation, are in the uranium decay chain.

Gamma radiation penetrates further through matter than alpha or beta radiation.

So-called 'artificial' glow curves can be induced in the laboratory using alpha and beta radiation sources.

This fallout will emit gamma, alpha, and beta radiation.

Beta radiation is a neutron breaking up to a proton, an electron, and a neutrino.

This effect came from a small glass tube of tritium gas, which gave off beta radiation and made the dial fluoresce.
