Non-PRO English Tech/Engineering Nuclear Eng/Sci
The effective doses from external exposure are estimated on the basis of personal dose equivalent, Hp(10), factually monitored in the exposed population, assuming that Hp(10) may be used as an approximation of the effective dose from external exposure to penetrating radiation.


Does it simply mean when we say from Los Angeles to Texas?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

exposure to

"External exposure to penetrating radiation" surely means being exposed to radiation; it isn't a "from X to Y" structure. "From" goes with "dose"; the dose from external exposure means the dose received from external exposure.

in context: effective dose as the result of exposure to penetrating radiation

No!

Not entirely sure exactly what your question really it, but I think you muist be asking about "from external exposure to penetrating radiation"?

In that case, we are not talking about a classic 'from...to...' situation, as you appear to be describing. These are 2 quite separate expressions:
'the effetcive dose that you would obtain from...'
and
'exposure to radiation'

'to' is a common presposition used with expose / exposure: "Do not expose to air / sunlight / etc."

Does that answer your question?
Note from asker:
Yes. I did understand! I do know that "to" is always used with expose/exposure. I have translated this structure a million times. However, I do not know that why sometimes it happens and I cannot recognize very simple structures!
