Re: Background radiation levels

[john cameron <jrcamero@wiscmail.wisc.edu>]

Alan Pasternak  Asked "Does anyone on the list know where to find a 

map of the U.S. with information on background radiation levels?"



A map  of gamma dose rate in the U.S. can be down- loaded from:

http://energy.cr.usgs.gov/radon/usagamma.gif

TERRESTRIAL GAMMA RAYS 1 M ABOVE U.S.

	It is interesting to compare that map with the cancer 

incidence of white males.

A map of WHITE MALE CANCER MORTALITY IN THE U.S. 1970-1994 can be 

down-loaded from:

http://www.dceg.cancer.gov/cgi-bin/atlas/mapview2?direct=acccwm70
