I think that the survey measurements were just determining background gamma 
dose, so wouldn't include the many other contributions to background from 
inhalation (including radon) and ingestion.

At least the article did comment that there is radiation "evrywhere". The 
public does react to this radiation when they are told that the 61 mrem 
determined is 61 times what is allowed in landfills (if the limit is 1 mrem/year).

What really doesn't make sense is the other reading of 26 mrem/year 
extrapolated dose. Considering that natural background in the area is much higher 
than that, the 26 mrem calculated dose, the survey performed is highly 
questionable. I question the other readings based on this as well.
