Re: Business airflights = occupational exposure?

Some Radsafer gave the following spa link recently (average 160000 Bq radon 
per cubic meter - does anyone know of a "better" spa? - our Canadian or 
Australian friends should be able to beat that at a number of places):
http://www.gasteiner-heilstollen.com/estart.htm

(it is stated that the guests will receive 2.3 mSv per year whatever that 
means in terms of hours or dollars)

To put this in some perspective - I notice that the suggested revision of 
our regulations of NPP releases state that if we calculate that a critical 
group receives 0.01 mSv a special monitoring program & investigation should 
be initiated (I don't have the formulations at hand to translate properly 
but that is the bottom line) - less than I will get by some air trips the 
coming month.

My personal reflection only,
