RE: Cool Fact: Radioactive People

["Zack Clayton" <zack.clayton@epa.state.oh.us>]

Regarding this statement:

One is that "Americans" should be substituted for "humans" below, for the 3-
to 4-mSv dose to be substantiated.

Does this imply that Americans have a different value for internal potassium from other North Americans/ Countries?  Or, that nobody else has been bothered enough by this to measure their internal dose?
