Sorry, caught by the radsafe 'from bug' :-)

Doug,

>From the 1996 Beijing Conf on nat. bkgd areas (NBA) (Wei et al, Eds.,
1997) see, e.g, a table in an extract of a paper by Sohrabi of Iran:
http://cnts.wpi.edu/rsh/Data_Docs/1-2/6/2/126214so97.html

See other papers from that conf at the end of the list of papers on HNBA:
http://cnts.wpi.edu/rsh/Data_Docs/1-2/6/2/126213keXX.html

See other papers from that conf at the end of the list of papers on
nat bkgd areas, and other papers in the list:
http://cnts.wpi.edu/rsh/Data_Docs/1-2/6/2/1262list.html

All of the refs in these papers are in the ref list:
http://cnts.wpi.edu/rsh/Data_Docs/references98.html

There are later refs, including papers at the Feb Radiobiology 2000
Conf near Kerala just completed, that have more recent revised data in
certain areas, esp for Kerala.
