[ RadSafe ] Fwd: NY State Inhalation Doses due to Fukushima

[Chris Alston]

Folks

Could they have originally meant millibecquerel (mBq) and not "micro",
rightly or wrongly?

Cheers

For perspective on the concentrations, the dose from inhaling 3000 uBq/m3 of
I-131 (gas) would be less than 1 uSv (microsievert) per year for an adult
member of the public.   The doses from the other radionuclides noted below
would be even lower.  Doses via other pathways (e.g. food) would obviously
be different but probably also insignificant.

I wonder how many "Fukushima equivalents " are represented by a single New
York hyperthyroid treatment?
