New Label: Background Radiation

DIscussed on 8/15/24 and agreed to:

  1. Add editor's notes on re-labeled and re-defined classes
  2. Add Background non-ionizing radiaton
  3. Add new children of background non-ionizing radiation: anthropogenic and natural
  4. Re-label existing background ionizing radiation classes to specify ionizing aspects
