[ RadSafe ] Radon pCi/l to mRem/hr

[Bernard L. Cohen]

Very roughly, a person living in a house with radon level of 1.3  pCi/L 
(the U.S. average) gets a whole body equivalent dose of about 200 
mrem/year according to NCRP, about 100 mrem/year according to UNSCEAR, 
and about 70 mrem/year according to ICRP. These numbers are about 15 
years old, so things may have changed. Naomi Harley of NYU is the expert 
on this..
