What does DOS stand for?

Byline: pinto03 The New York State Office of General Services has selected the innovative DOSE-GARD Electronic Alarming Dosimeter for inclusion on the list of emergency preparedness and response equipment under the Hazardous Incident Response Equipment (HIRE) contract.

Outfitted in protective gear, officers would use the Dosimeters to find "hot spots" of radiation.

The dosimeter works by using an acid-release agent that is decomposed by ultraviolet light.

00 Hardcover QC795 Physicists and other scientists at or associated with the University of Limerick in Ireland alert readers to the modern body of knowledge of radiation sensors, focusing on the wide range of gamma radiation dosimeters that are now available or are under development; the most common and emerging dosimetry methods and materials for measuring radiation; and the properties of materials under the influence of ionizing radiation.

Routine treatment time as little as 3 min; less with undiluted albuterol; 1-2 mins for methacholine without a dosimeter.

To properly detect anything, the dosimeter has to be zeroed out--it has to be calibrated to not count background radiation.

Use a dosimeter with a threshold of 80 dBA (A-weighted sound pressure level) and 90 dBA to measure noise exposures.

And dosimeters (radiation detecting equipment) will be place at the entrance.
