BODY {FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: small;}I had found the following comment interesting. Comparing the amount of back ground radiation that one was exposed to on planet Earth, in a typical year, to the amount exposed by the power plants in Japan. At one point, anyway, they said people were being exposed to a years worth of back ground radiation, in just one month. That, I think, most people can understand.So is there a way to say that 4.0 pCi/L in the basement is the same as (let's say) 2 months of typical back ground radiation you would normally be exposed to in a year. Or is Radon one of THE back ground radiations we are always exposed to. Thoughts welcome!NH Lic #084603-882-1400 peter@drougasinspections.com www.drougasinspections.com-----Original Message-----From: Steve Stokes Sent: 3/27/2011 3:25:03 PMTo: RADONPROFESSIONALS@LIST.UIOWA.EDU;Subject: Re: [RNPROF] Nuclear power risk vs. radon risk "People are not dying in the streets from radon." uh, like they are fromthe nuclear plants in Japan?
Come on, want to compare the radiation from the "Nuclear Power" plants to
what you get from a CAT scan or what the astronauts get from an extended
stay in the International Space Station? If the media said the sun was
coming up in the morning...I'd probably take a flashlight to bed with me...
