RE: Percentage of population annual dose from radon

["Ryder, R (Roy)" <R.Ryder@dl.ac.uk>]

The NRPB At A Glance poster shows that the average concentration in UK homes
to be 20 Bq per cubic metre. Of course it can be much higher in the worst
areas. This is, on average, 50% of the annual exposure of 2.5mSv/y.

Dear colleagues

I am looking for the most accurate figure to the percentage of annual dose
from radon to the general public relative to the total annual dose from all
sources (natural and Man-Made) for both counties UK and USA.
Citation of reference for these figures is needed.

Best regards
